We have two gas stations within 2 miles of my house that sell non-ethanol gas.

I don’t see how it’s mandated if some stations sell it... The public doesn’t have to buy the crap gas if they don’t want to.

Good point. The powers that be have mandated it’s production and availability, but I still am not required to purchase it.

Except for the taxpayers have guns to their heads by the gubmint so that it enriches a few farmers in Iowa.

Anytime there is a gubmint involved in mandating (eg. ethanol content), every single taxpayer is risking jail time if they do not pony up. How is that freedom? Only in Trump’s definition of freedom —

Trump is a CRONY “capitalist” OLIGARCH used to buying politicians and bullying property owners using his pals in the gubmint.

Trump is more dangerous than obola because Trump pretends to be for the people while riding the populist/opportunist wave. Morons do not make America “great”. America is already great, DESPITE trumpanzees!

You are very lucky. I can’t find anything but tool rental locations selling non-ethanol gas anywhere in my area, at 3x the price of regular with ethanol.

It's mandated that I pay for it....via subsidies.

AKA...taxes.
