Maybe the gas DOESN’T contain ethanol?

What with gas approaching $2.00 a gallon, it’s more expensive to add that corn oil in than sell good ol’ regular gas.

It’s not about cost. It’s about subsidizing farmers and destroying our means of transportation.

That’s what I’m thinking. If Ethanol costs more than oil maybe gas companies are stop adding it in. I do alot of highway driving and I’ve noticed my car performing better and getting better mileage recently. The corn lobby won’t be happy but screw them.

The sticker affixed to the ump stated “Contains a maximum of 10% ethanol” implying it could contain less. No sticker indicates that it could be whatever the EPA decides. If it were ethanol free they mark it as such.

:: more expensive to add that corn oil ::

Woudl that it actually were “corn oil” (a lubricant) but, alas, it is an alcohol that has organic solvent properties.

That is why it is detrimental to most vehicle fuel systems made from polymers.
