So the only thing that evaporates out of tanks with “bad seals” is ethanol???????????Silly.

Wrong. You don't know ethanol has a higher vapor pressure than gasoline?

If you can find out what gas and ethanol is now you can find out what it was when gas was 4 bucks.

Sorry, I couldn't find proof of your claim.

Granted ethanol is slightly cheaper than no-tax price of gas, right now

More expensive.

The physical evidence of ethanol plants helping one(gas) with lower prices at the pump

Ethanol is more expensive now. I remember last year, it was a lot more expensive. Plus the tax credit costs us billions. I don't see cheaper and you've still shown no proof.

I meant to say ethanol is a little more than
no-tax gas now. I can’t type or proof read worth crap.
Sure ethanol has higher vapapor pressure but with
an unsealed all you smell is gas which is a
polutant in the air also, much worse than grain
alcohol. So if a guys sees the price of 4 bucks
for gas at pump, it is alie andthey only charge
him two. Silly. Go to the CBOT history of
the prices and you will find it.Last year ethanol was
more than now but it was a lot less than gas pump
prices. early last year and year before ethanol
less even the no-tax gas price.Ans a 5 billion dollar
tax credit saving consumers 20-25 times that much
is a savings to me.
And that info came from a couple
of wall street brokerage firms and their analysts.
And it was posted on FR in some of the ethanol
bashing forums last year.Not my ideas, just smart
investors research, that stated ethanol kept gas
prices an average of about 50 cents a gal cheaper over
tha last bunch of years, so I just multiplied by
the usage and you have a figure. Which is many
times the tax credit. 2/3 of the Dept AG budget
is food stamps, like about 70 billion last I heard.
Do you holler about that?
