The ethanol subsidies ended a couple years ago but the mandate still remains.

Then something will happen to the ethanol market. Either it will crash, or gasahol prices will skyrocket. Last week, I saw regular and gasahol offered at the same pump. The ethanol fuel was cheaper.

“Last week, I saw regular and gasahol offered at the same pump. The ethanol fuel was cheaper.”

If you mean by regular pure gasoline without ethanol and by gasahol you mean ten percent ethanol then the pricing is the same here. In fact if I could buy ten percent ethanol and filter out the ethanol and throw it away it would be considerably cheaper than buying pure gasoline. That makes no sense at all to me.

Always will be. Because the price is subsidized by our 'friends' in WashDC.

So it's not really cheaper. Picture some of your hard-earned taxdollars supporting the price for everyone else.

Not to mention the, probably, millions of dollars of damage ethanol has caused small gas engines.
