Bad idea, too much ethanol will seriously harm older engines.

Boaters with older fiberglass fuel tanks know this all too well.

And its almost impossible to store a high ethanol fuel unless its in an air tight storage device, it naturally draws moisture, and adding chemicals like Stabil won’t work.

You buy a high ethanol fuel you must use it within a month unless you can keep moisture away from it.

ethanol producers are putting other companies out of business.

We just had a chicken plant leave town because they are bankrupt. The downward spiral started when the ethanol producers started using feed for fuel and causing higher prices for feed for the growers.

Gas station isn't giving me a 15% discount for buying their tainted gasoline.
Get a diesel.

""This is about jobs, energy security for America, improving the environment and meeting our legal responsibilities under the 2007 energy bill," said retired Gen. Wesley Clark, co-chairman of a group of ethanol firms called Growth Energy."

Huh. Why is it a lowly E-6 Navy Veteran can see the idiocy of ethanol being a stupid idea over a General? ALL the research has shown that ethanol takes more energy to produce it than we get back. Yes, there are new technologies that can produce ethanol from other cellulose products, but it is still a non-viable product, and will be so for many years.

Sheesh, what a putz Wesley Clark is. Got a vested interest there do you, Wesley?

Makes as much sense as drinking gasoline.

Once again we see liberal causes gone astray. Ethanol has created more pollution than ever in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought the environmentalists were worried about pollution and ethenol is a major pollution source for the gulf. Plus, the high costs have made it impossible to feed “The Children”. I always hear it is for the children. Well the children in Africa are starving because of ethanol and that grain being used as a gasoline additive. Ethanol has caused more pollution and killed more children than the world will ever be allowed to know about. Meanwhile Al Gore keeps lining is pockets with money from his global warming scam. It is a shame America has been dumbed down to accept these kind of false polices and obvious criminals in and out of office.

Seems to me that listening to these crackpots contributed to grain shortages and higher prices for edible stuff.

What a terrible waste of corn ethanol is...thanks a lot ADM.

Look to Brazil they did this right...the goal there was, real energy independence.

The parasite gypsy thieves at Archer-Daniels-Midland want to generate more business for themselves at the expense of the consumer under the ‘lie’ of energy independence.

Why not use trash weeds ADM? Oh that’s right...because then we wouldn’t need your ‘stuff’ would we.

O-boy has really assembled a gaggle of pure dumb $hits for his management team. Just my opinion, mind you.
