false choice. MTBE shouldnt' be there either. We should have clean burning gasoline, free of bad government mandated gas.
Everyone always wants to present these choices:
1. Foreign oil
2. Ethanol substitute
3. Ethanol additive or MTBE additive.
The real choice isn't any one of those, it's drilled in america good old gasoline. People have been so condition to accepting the government provide choices they forget to ask for the best one that the government refuses to offer.It's become a sad nation of sheep.
Don't fight for the worst of three government provided choices - fight for the best one and demand the government follow your lead.
It's not "bad gas" that causes nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide. It's a fundamental part of hydrocarbon combustion without an oxygen-containing additive inside typical automobile engines. In the same way that it's not "bad ethanol" that contributes to smog or "bad MTBE" that contributes to water pollution.
