AAA spokeswoman Cathy Rossi told Baldini that the shortages were due to "logistics." She said that a switch from MTBE to ethanol as a fuel additive is causing the shortages. Rossi said the shortages were expected to be temporary.

In other words, the EcoFreaks have caused the "shortage." Perfect.

What everyone seemingly has forgotten is that it was the ecowhackos who insisted on MTBE in the first place.

Idiots then, idiots now, and their agenda couldn't be any more plain...for those who care to look.
