Started recently getting “up to 10%” ethanol here in Orlando. My 1998 Park Avenue went from 27hwy down to 24 on a 160 mile per day commute.

Shhhh! Using more fuel means more trips to the pump, more fed gas taxes collected.

That is the worst part. On top of everything else, the subsidies, the damage to fuel lines etc. ten percent ethanol reduces your gas mileage by ten percent or more! This means you are burning even more pure gasoline than you would use if there were no alcohol in it so ALL the alcohol is a waste and part of your gasoline is wasted. This is insanity.
