Somebody is profiting. That’s the only explanation.
there was a report out just recently stating ethanol did nothing to cut down on greenhouse gases or to conserve fuel and was ifnact not good for small engines
list of stations that sell pure, ethanol-free gasoline in the U.S. and Canada

You know something is very, very wrong when the government forces you to waste food and use it as fuel.
It just ruined my POS engine,
That crap destroys engines. A waste of land and water resources. Requires more energy input to create a gallon of ethanol than a gallon of straight gasoline. And the only reason ethanol is even marketable is because of the heavy fed gov subsidies - otherwise it would be a total loss for the producers.
When are the American people going to get the message that the EPA is killing America’s competitive advantage in the world. We need to consider limiting the EPA’s power and, possibly, the EPA all together.
Blah, Blah, Blah... and no one will do anything to stop it.
EPA ought be dismantled and its employees put in prison.
Anyone else experiencing a black mildew growing around the filler cap inside the lid on cars since ethanol came in?
Phuque greedy Iowa corn farmers.
PING!
NASCAR will use it, they love ethanol.
Now we have Obama passing rules on how much ethanol should have been used two years ago. I wonder what the fine for not having done this is?
There is nothing good that can be said about forcing us to have ethanol in our gasoline.
Ethanol:
Reduces fuel economy
Destroys non-metallic parts in the fuel system
Absorbs water, causing metallic parts in the fuel system to rust
Requires more energy to grow and manufacture than it produces when burned, so it increases so-called "greenhouse gasses".
Used to be produced by individual farmers on the family farm. Now it's produced by huge agricultural businesses who have bought out family farms.
Briggs & Stratton Co. has never liked ethanol because it can make a mess of things at the worst possible time — like when you need to cut the grass and your lawn mower spits, sputters and just won’t start.
Often, water in the gasoline is the culprit, according to Briggs, the world’s largest manufacturer of small gasoline engines.
And the company says the biofuel additive ethanol, which is contained in most of the gasoline people buy today, can attract moisture out of the air like steel sticks to a magnet.
Moisture in gasoline is a big problem for boats, lawn mowers, generators and other equipment powered by gasoline engines, said Scott Wesenberg, manager of Briggs’ fuel systems group.
If you store gasoline this is a must have. because of Ethanol.
Well, the auto repair shops and new car dealers will benefit if 10% ethanol is totally replaced with 15% ethanol and all of the seals in our car engines and other components go out as experiments have shown. These are experiments that the EPA does not acknowledge as being credible.
This is the most dreadfully corrupt political country in the world.
It is no longer the “best place on earth”. It is a miserable place with life ruled by rules for everything ruled by a despot dictator.
