The feds give companies that combine corn ethanol with gasoline a 45-cent tax subsidy for every gallon of corn ethanol added to gasoline.

A 45 cents per gallon incentive to add a little extra ethanol above the mandated 10% ?

On a thread here on FR about 3 weeks ago a reply said that a friend who owned a Chrysler dealership was having unsual problems in his service department. So the dealer purchased a test kit or device to check the percentage of ethanol in the gas tanks of the problem vehicles.

Up to 21% ethanol was found to be in the "gasoline". The reply posted did not say if a lower percentage solved the problems.

We need to burn straight gas, with no ethanol, that way our internal combustion engines will never fail, will last forever.

Or do engines running on straight gasoline...GASP...also break down?????
