No arguments here. I lost a lawnmower this past year to E10 (unlabeled at the pump the day I filled the 5 gallon can.)

How "environmentally conscious" was the waste of a small engine and the attachments which enabled me to cut grass with it?

When I run 91 octane (real) gasoline, I get 18 MPG. The best I get with 87 octane 10% ethanol is 15 MPG.

I will use the real deal until I no longer can. Then I will pull that engine and put in something different, but I won't buy a new spy vehicle to record and report my activities.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Relative lost a lawnmower same way; there is an additive that you can put in the lawnmower w/the ethanol gas, but don’t know what it’s called.

Hear, hear.

I agree entirely. Great point about the spy vehicle, too.
