It’s always those pesky unintended consequences that’ll get you every time.

Diluting the gasoline never made any sense to me.

Only a fool puts corn oil (or whatever that crap is) into a combustible engine. May as well unleash Termites in your attic for “environmental safety.”
For nearly 16 years now, I have only used NON-ETHANOL gas and always use www.puregas.org to find stations which supply it.

Never underestimate the power of the ag lobby.
That’s why food stamps are under Dept of Agriculture, not HHS.

Diluting the gasoline never made any sense to me.It made fuel mileage worse and was always an agribusiness political scam.

Well, other than giving the State and Federal governments
more tax dollars, it doesn’t.

It is.
Worse mileage so people buy more fuel to burn.
Ethanol gas tailpipe emissions pollute groundwater more than just pure 100% gas byproducts.
Its not great for engines, being alcohol causing them to run hotter. It can also be hard on plastics in the fuel system.
Especially hard on small two-stroke engines that can destroy them.

They’ve known about this for years. It’s a waste of corn.
I blame Iowa.

It isn't food. Field corn isn't digestible to humans.

It isn’t OIL, it is Alcohol. It is used as the oxygenate, replacing MTBEs

In large metro areas that is not always practical/possible.
