Besides the preposterous implications of turning a good portion of the food supply, and the implications of production, pricing and availability thereof, if I could get my hands on the bastard or bastards that got this ridiculous policy implemented, I’d whop’em upside the head with a twobyfour.
I’ve had three cars/trucks affected by this. Oxygen sensors! Get alarms all the time. Ethanol is death to a wide band O2 sensor. It eats gaskets, fuel lines, seals, you name it. I finally had to buy an OBII CAN tool to reset the damned engine “service required” light.
Damn them!
Ethanol as fuel is blatant, in-your-face gay prostitution!!!
It’s so gay, even Ricky Tisei wouldn’t touch it.

As my 2003 Nissan Altima approached 190,000 miles, I switched to 90 octane ethanol free gasoline. My mileage improved by 15 to 20%. The car ran better. I have since bought a new car, and I will continue to fill it up with non-ethanol fuel. It’s about 25% more, but I like the feeling of giving government the finger. Did I mention buying up a stockpile of incandescent light bulbs, enough to outlast the present administration?
Ethanol kills your fuel economy too. Alcohol simply has less energy per gallon than gasoline does!
Ethanol is just one peice of the overall scam.
Wha?? Whatt the heck ith wrong withhh etthanoll
(hic!)
Ethanol = Iowa = Swing State. No one dares touch the third rail (except maybe Sarah Palin).
“The idea behind ethanol is that it reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and, in doing so, it saves the Earth from global warming/climate change, but CO2 plays no role in climate change, and shows up well after any increase or decrease of temperatures. Ethanol is bad science. It is bad for the engines of cars that must use such a gasoline blend. It increases the cost of gasoline and all other corn-based products. It actually increases the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. And it reduces the mileage a car can achieve with pure gasoline. “

wow. ...so much insanity, in one thing.
and we pay for it in subsidies,
that we borrow money for.
which our children will have to repay,
with interest.
...beyond insane.
