"There is NO SHORTAGE it is simply the transition to ethanol laced fuel."

Yes, that is causing a temporary shortage because all the suppliers have to drain their storage tanks, clean out the water, and install a new type of filter before they can fill them back up with corn whiskey. Add 25 cents a gallon because of this move. I don't really oppose the ethanol blend, it's actually better gas, but it need not be so expensive. The core problem is still a lack of refinery capacity, and a stupid anti-drilling blockade in congress.

"The core problem is still a lack of refinery capacity, and a stupid anti-drilling blockade in congress."

Exactly right, because they are reading this crap and others like it.

For those who wish to educate themselves about oil, you can start by mashing here.

Enjoy.

It provides less mpg, is more prone to absorbing water that ruins performance, costs more, and is in short supply.

What's better about that?

Ethanol blend is garbage. Mileage drops unacceptably becuase the molecule contains less energy that pure hydrocarbons.
