This can only mean the EPA will soon be dropping something on us very onerous, so lessening ethanol now to soften the blow.

Yeah, cars will soon be legal only if all seats are occupied. If you drop someone off, you have to wait around until you can find someone to ride with you.

But they promise that if you like your car, you can keep it, you just can't drive it very often! And they promise that this will lower your fuel costs since you will be driving less. And, more importantly, it will save the planet!

Vodka.

Actually, production ethanol goes through molecular sieves to get to fuel grade. There’s no alcohol purer than that.

Most ethanol for human consumption leaves certain “contaminants” in or adds them to help cover the taste of the pure alcohol.

It could be the White House is just shaking the industry up before they shake them down for the 2014 elections.

We’re one Presidential election away from seeing the mandate ended.

Odd that I posted an article the same day showing the epa proposing ADDING more pop-corn to gas and then the nyt has an article saying the epa wants to reduce the amount of pop-corn in gas. WTF? It’s almost like nobody in this administration has a clue. Oh, wait. They don’t. Well they do, but it’s the wrong clue. And, even though I liked a lot about gw, he nor anyone in his family is a “true” conservative. A dump truck load better than the “lyin’ king”.
