This crapola gets terrible mileage, it’s hard on engines and gaskets, it raises the cost of food, it raises taxes.

There is nothing at all good about the stuff ... which of course, would be why congress critters mandated it — perfectly logical. If it made sense, they wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

That is the truth, I needed gas and all the station had was 10% ethanol, my mileage went from 28 to 24 with a tail wind.

That is so true about so many things these days, not just the mysterious workings of congress. At least once daily I find myself shaking my head in amazement. Not that I haven’t done plenty of stupid things myself but I don’t deliberately shoot myself in the foot and then ask someone else to push my wheelchair.

Obsession with ethanol, because of the lobbying strength of its proponents has interfered with the backing of actual solutions both in the marketplace and in government itself.

“Regionalizing” the ethanol boondoggle would not have made this any different.
