Besides the preposterous implications of turning a good portion of the food supply, and the implications of production, pricing and availability thereof, if I could get my hands on the bastard or bastards that got this ridiculous policy implemented, I’d whop’em upside the head with a twobyfour.
I’ve had three cars/trucks affected by this. Oxygen sensors! Get alarms all the time. Ethanol is death to a wide band O2 sensor. It eats gaskets, fuel lines, seals, you name it. I finally had to buy an OBII CAN tool to reset the damned engine “service required” light.
Damn them!
2x4 and left for dead is too merciful.
So true and it keeps small engine repair businesses busy.
The entire program is a scam and our government subsidizes it.
Ethanol as fuel is blatant, in-your-face gay prostitution!!!
It’s so gay, even Ricky Tisei wouldn’t touch it.
“Besides the preposterous implications of turning a good portion of the food supply,”
Not to mention whiskey.

I’ve actually learned to rebuild the carbs in all my 2 cycles and also 4 cycles....Seafoam is a great additive/cleaner. I have all my utility gas spiked with it now.
So, it looks like their plan is working. Their plan to get everyone out of their vehicles and into either public transportation or a bicycle.
And unabated, they won’t stop until they get their way, whether it takes decades of frustration over expensive auto repairs, waiting in long gas lines, too high gas prices, food shortages and skyrocketing food costs, whatever...it’s all about control with these leftist idiots.
My only question is....why the hell are we letting them get away with it?
I ask myself this question everyday, Candy Crowely as a debate moderator, what a joke, where’s the outrage from the GOP?
As my 2003 Nissan Altima approached 190,000 miles, I switched to 90 octane ethanol free gasoline. My mileage improved by 15 to 20%. The car ran better. I have since bought a new car, and I will continue to fill it up with non-ethanol fuel. It’s about 25% more, but I like the feeling of giving government the finger. Did I mention buying up a stockpile of incandescent light bulbs, enough to outlast the present administration?
Ethanol kills your fuel economy too. Alcohol simply has less energy per gallon than gasoline does!
Ethanol is just one peice of the overall scam.
where can one buy ethanol free gasoline ?
Two words explain this policy: "Iowa Caucuses."
Wha?? Whatt the heck ith wrong withhh etthanoll
(hic!)
Ethanol = Iowa = Swing State. No one dares touch the third rail (except maybe Sarah Palin).
