Corn is for cows NOT cars !
It ruins my small engines.
The ethanol mandate is textbook Fascism.
Ethanol has a role and a place. The problem is it is not used that way. With the government involvement it is one size fits all..........
My current ride started throwing check-engine lights and other issues. The local dealer where I bought it told me to find non-ethanol gas. I did and everything is perfect. I hate paying a premium for NE gas but it is all my ride will run on without problems.
I hope ethanol requirements are phased out over the next 2 or 3 years. Give everyone a chance to adapt. I can’t blame the farmers for creating the stupid situation but it is part of their planning now.
It costs over $100 a year to keep the carburetor on my ATV repaired form the damage....
This nation will no longer be held hostage to the Iowa Caucuses.
While they are at getting rid of the corn gas mandate, end the mandate that made gas cans unusable.
All one needs to know is what an energy balance on the process of producing ethanol from corn indicates. An energy balance is a measure of the energy input from all sources required to produce a gallon of ethanol compared to the energy available from that same gallon of ethanol. The energy balance shows that it takes as much or more energy to produce the gallon of ethanol as it provides. To overcome this economic fact, ethanol must be provided with significant taxpayer subsidies in order to work.
So not only is it causing costly repair bills— we are paying dearly for the privilege of having to put up with these bills.
Here is another interesting fact. A 25 gallon tank of pure ethanol requires 450 pounds of corn to produce. This equates to roughly the amount of calories to feed someone for a year. It is pure folly to make fuel from food.
Please quit burning our food.
I noticed at our gas station, the higher the octane, the less ethanol is in it. Does that tell you something?
