"Like ethanol, a huge waste of money."

I consider ethanol a quality of life purchase. Of course I only purchase it in highly diluted 12 ounce and one quart amounts.

“Like ethanol, a huge waste of money.”

Also, the damage to our car engines can be severe.

My wife had a 67 Camaro V8 for decades that got about 20 miles per gallon and was a great vehicle.

When we got ethanol shoved on us, a friend who owned a private car repair/tune up shop informed us that her engine would be lucky to last 4-6 months with the ethanol bs.

4 months later the engine basically caved in on itself.

We replaced it with a Californicator approved V8, which got about 12 miles per gallon with the gasohol bs.

We were lucky it didn’t catch on fire and set our carport and house on fire like many older vehicles did with gasohol in the first few weeks.
