Keep the government out of my doctors office and my gas tank.
Buying votes in the corn belt.
This does not MAGA. It’s corruption.
15 % of ten gallons is 1.5 gallons.
How about I get 8.5 gallons of gas, and a separate 1.5 gallons of ethanol.
And drink up that 1.5 gallons while I burn the other 8.5.
Will save damage to the engine and environment.
May be some other consequences.
Further analysis invited.
Great lets ruin more cars
Engine performance and fuel economy be damned.
Should be reduced to zero percent. Big give away with no value for drivers
More knock per block!
I don’t think it’s a bad idea. It looks like the EPA is allowing — not requiring — states to use consistent ethanol blends through the entire year. This eliminates the short-term disruptions in the supply chain when refineries have to change their fuel mixtures twice every year.
Oh no. Thought we were going to get rid of that cr*p.
The proposed regulations WOULD allow 15-percent ethanol fuels to be sold...
BUT is it a demand that they do so? Most pumps these days have everything from 15% ethanol to diesel. Perhaps its rose colored glasses but this might get rid enough of the crazy credit scheme so consumers could choose high ethanol blends (some engines are fine with that) OR blends with NO ethanol. And the refineries wouldnt have to retool each season. Next we need to get rid of summer vs. winter blends.
not good. my car already hates it.
President Trump needs a vacation. All the vicious attacks and special interests are starting to get to him. A tanned, rested, and ready President Trump wouldn't even have considered this.
Next time a FRreeper drives through an "ethanol" state (Iowa or Kansas for example), take notice of the all the gas stations selling NO ETHANOL PURE GAS. One ubiquitous chain is famous for this, Casey's General Store. Apparently what's good for thee is not good for me.
Idiotic.
Vehicles are not set to take extra ethanol well. Less mileage and more heat generation.
Plus it will pollute the groundwater worse. Gas plus ethanol polutes water worse than just pure gas.
I buy high octane premium gas for my outboard motor, lawn mower, etc.
The current spread over blended gas is $.50/gallon.
JaVanka ?
Thx, President Trump. I love paying $20 a gallon for SEF that doesn’t require me to deglaze my lawnmowers every spring, or just end up having to buy a new one out of frustration.
> This does not MAGA. Its corruption. <
Right. We’d all be better off if ethanol were removed from gasoline, and the farmers were bribed directly.
