Obama's Four Gallons of Gas Minimum Mandate

Fox News ^

[tapatio]

The latest mandate handed down from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is so ridiculous, even I was shocked. The EPA has now mandated how much gasoline you must buy at certain gas stations. Say hello to the Obama Administration’s four gallon minimum.

Thanks - unfortunately there isn’t a station within 100 miles of where I am. The good news is the hardware store where I bought my new Toro sells pure gas - prepackaged, about $5/quart. I’ll run it dry next time, change the oil, then lay it up for the season.

What's the difference between a regulation and a law?

Congress is to write laws, not an ABC agency.

Congress is so lazy they have to outsource their Constitutional duty to some ABC prolies. No surprise there, except that we put up with it.

The more we put up with, the more we get!

At the insistence of the ethanol industry, the Obama Administration is pushing E15 into the marketplace, regardless of the serious concerns about the fuel’s impact on drivers. From its inception, E15 is a study in the consequences of government interference in the marketplace. The EPA’s decision to set a minimum purchase requirement is just the most recent example........
“EPA requires that retail stations that own or operate blender pumps either dispense E15 from a dedicated hose and nozzle if able or, in the case of E15 and E10 being dispensed from the same hose, require that at least four gallons of fuel be purchased to prevent vehicles and engines with smaller fuel tanks from being exposed to gasoline-ethanol blended fuels containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol.”

We are still allowed to own and drive cars?

Old news..Widely ignored...

[Pit1]

So does The EPA.

This can’t be real

Of course it can. If they can tell you what you must buy , they can sure as heck tell you how much.

[Albion Wilde]

Once gasoline hits $40 a gallon, it won’t be a problem...............................

LOL! I've had a Black & Decker mower with a rechargeable battery for 16 years now. Works great; and I can store it anywhere in the living quarters with no odor. The only problem was when the battery died around 10 years, it was hell waiting for a replacement. Not to hijack the thread or anything...

[null and void]

Last time I got gas I literally couldn’t afford four gallons. Thanks bastard!

[Born to Conserve]

If your car can’t handle E15, you’d eventually ruin it by not buying around four gallons.

The stupid tyrannical thing is that you have to have any alcohol in your gas.

[Minutemen]

Wait till you see what the cost of ethanol-free fuel is!
Here in Oregon we are paying $4.09 for unleaded 10% alky.
The price for ethanol-free gas is almost $5 per gallon.I cannot afford it in my car...but it does make your chain saws and engines run great!

[Born to Conserve]

If you need alcohol free gas, by premium and wash it with water. It will get rid of the alcohol, but take away a couple octain points.

On the bright side; it takes about four gallons of gas to burn a corpse, man.

I'm probably happier not knowning how you know that little factoid...

[jonascord]

"...better days will come."

No. they will not. Our time is over, and it will not return. There is no way we can survive as a free nation without a great Killing. No one has the moral courage for that.

[TigersEye]

Why, I learned it on the History Channel, N&V. Hitler’s Bunker or Hitler’s Last Days or something like that. Just a bit of useless historical trivia.

[null and void]

Courage may not be required. Desperation could suffice.

[Charles Martel]

On the bright side; it takes about four gallons of gas to burn a corpse, man.

I'm certain that there will be people lined up to donate the precious liquid, for delivery right behind the Führerbunker.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Are there still gasoline stations that carry the stuff without ethanol?

Not many places in Texas but if you head north and cross the Red river there is plenty of "real" gasoline available.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I went to the local gas station last week to fill up my truck and get several cans filled for my tractor. At 25 gallons the machine automatically shut off even though I did not get my last can filled. Is there a Maximum now of 25 gallons?

[dartuser]

There is no way the government can MAKE us buy health insurance.

oh wait ...

[Red Badger]

I used to have one of those.................
