At the end of 2011 the subsidy for domestic ethanol expired as did the tariff on imported ethanol. Ethanol plants in Indiana are closing up faster than K-marts in the 1990s. I suspect imported Brazilian sugar cane ethanol will be an increasing factor.

Do you know if that is what was behind the batch of bad gas recently at BP in northwestern Indiana? I never did hear what the cause was supposed to be.

No, nothing to do with ethanol.

“a higher than normal level of polymeric residue”

Maybe FReeper petro expert Thackney can explain this.
