I heard part of it.

Did DJT say he was making E15 to be year round?

Is that ethanol fuel?

Corn farmers might like it. Corn eaters don’t. Kansas aquifer has been going dry from it.

I’d think ethanol fuel should be eliminated. Easier on gasoline engines, and better mileage (and power).

My only possible heartburn. The rest was highly joyful.

Just got to that part. I’m uninformed about the subject. Looks like the guy behind him on his left is ready to tear up.

I think he’s just super proud of our president and the fact that he actually listens to Americans and tries to help.

I’ve heard bad stuff about ethanol, too. Not really informed on it, though.

Corn eaters don’t.

Cattle?

They don't use "sweet corn" they use field corn. After they brew the alcohol, they sell the expended mash to ranchers for use as cattle feed. It's a more nutritious feed than the raw corn, and they get two uses from the same feed stock.

Alcohol doesn't ruin engines, my only complaints are, that it doesn't reduce the price of gas, and it lowers your mileage. It should be cheaper.

Power?

Since they use the alcohol to achieve the "octane rating" (more controlled, slower burn) you can actually get more power with higher compression (or boost) and advanced timing, and not have pre-ignition problems.

"Premium gasoline" just has more ethanol.

Some race cars run on straight alcohol, and hardly produce any heat.
