You don’t have to use it.

You keep saying that on this thread as if repetition will somehow make this true. Multiple people have, as I have pointed out that the nearest place to buy untainted fuel is more than 30 miles away. Yet you keep repeating what is essentially a lie to further your cause.

Additionally, many people have pointed out that it is a federal agency, namely the twits at the EPA that are forcing people to purchase adulterated products that lower the efficiency of their engines and can actively harm small motors..

You try to justify this intrusion into our lives by mentioning other suybsidies, as if somehow two wrongs make a right. Logic is obviously not a strong point with you. I'm all for ending all subsidies, and letting the free market actually work as intending without the government stepping in to assign winners and losers to the equation.

As you can see from this thread, most Freepers aren't as enamored at being on the governement teat as you apparently are.

I don’t sell corn, but I’ve watched the industry grow and used it in my own vehicles since the mid 70s. You favor the oil industry approach and I favor the capturing of solar energy by plants as very efficient way to produce a portable fuel source. What would you replace ethanol with that is both octane boosting and cleaner burning? And no one, has forced you to buy it. Drive 30 miles and quit whining or ride a bicycle. You could probably stand to lose the weight.

Food and fuel are not expensive in this country. You should see what they cost in other countries. I’m not talking about two wrongs, I’m talking about all wrongs, all subsidies. You selectively wish to keep your own and attack others. That’s called hypocrisy.

Most freepers know nothing about modern agriculture. They don’t have a clue and I suspect you don’t either.
