COMMERCIAL...for E85 ethanol...claiming that if we all used more ethanol the air would be cleaner..

Did they forget the part about all the diesel fuel and petroleum based fertilizers it takes to grow all that corn??

Really, didn't we see a post here on FR about it taking like 4 gallons of fuel to get 5?? Sumpin' like that???

you watch, she's gonna go down!

You won't see that on TV; when the B-2 goes to work, it's always dark, and they don't tell CNN in advance.

I got my view a couple years ago at an air show on the lakeshore, and it sure is good-looking. Sure was a lot quieter than the A-10/P-51 "fly-off" they also had - it's amazing what the Warthog can do in the air.

You bet that ride was worth every penny. I also did a ride in an ancient biplane; the view was awesome.

Kevin Hamlin, Bobby Hamilton Jr, Sean Murphy did not pit and are on the tail end of the lead lap. 5 laps short of halfway.

FAMILY THREAD!!!

That Ethanol is pure alcohol, I read they just put a little gasoline in it so them alcoholics won't be drinking out of their gas tank.

Some drink plain old rubbing alcohol when they're desperate.

Green lap 48.

They also forgot about the part of the higher smog-producing emissions.

We're fighting an uphill battle against ADM up here on the good side of the toll booths against a proposed mandate of E10 regular gas (they eliminated mid-grade from the mandate, never had the high-test stuff - gee I wonder if the fact that E10 ruins engines had anything to do with that, and added an amendment to make business cut emissions further to make up for the increased emissions from the mandate).

Martin free-falling through the field. 7th and still not back in line.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Durn...I guess it was time for a commercial..no warning!

How RUDE! Just cut and go...

[tubebender]

Tell me about the car...

[steveegg]

Halfway!

[steveegg]

National or local commercial? Speed has no control over the latter; that's the responsibility of the cable company.

[GRRRRR]
