I buy the $5.45/gallon non ethanol for my small engines.
“increases an already expected food shortage”
That’s the point.
A 15% ethanol mix is ALREADY required for winter fuel blends. What does this third issue have to do with eliminating the transition to 10% ethanol?
Where do you find that?
“I buy the $5.45/gallon non ethanol for my small engines.”
What are you talking about
There goes my 1997 Ford Expedition! Can’t afford to be paying for a new car and don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a used car. Thanks Brandon!
Fourth issue cars built before 2001 are not designed to run on e15. This fuel will likely damage these cars. Of course these cars are owned by mainly owned by poor people. Don’t even get me started on small engines and the destruction ethanol does to those.
Increasing ethanol in gasoline is like shooting yourself in the foot and then going for a tighter group.
That’s what I do, too. We have a “Maverick” station in Coeur d’Alene that sells it from the blue-handled pump. They are the only station around that sells it. I’ve changed more small engine carburetors destroyed by ethanol blend than I want to count. Before the new Maverick station started selling it, I bought “Tru-Fuel” at $20/gallon. What a racket that company has!
It just REALLY hacks me off that ONE MAN in the entire nation can make this decision for everybody. If he destroyed tens of millions of old cars, it will be worse than Obama’s ridiculous “Cash for Clunkers” program. Expect the demand for newer used cars to explode as old cars are ruined. And ruined for NO GOOD REASON except to placate corn farmers.
It was hardly quiet. Very well publicized.
Don’t buy it if there’s doubt your car can handle it. Be mercenary. Even if our car can handle it, don’t buy it if the mpg difference isn’t a bargain. Don’t reward bad math.
It’s only available in a very limited number of stations.
There are products sold at auto part stores with enzymes that “ eat” the ethanol from this crap gas to protect your engine.
Gas treatment isle.
Unfortunately, the eliminated ethanol reduces your fuel mileage.
.
Go Brandon indeed.
Our local convenience store sells non-ethanol gas.
..... I was under the impression that the corn grown and used for Ethanol Production was actually different than the corn used for food .... So how can the government just wave a magic wand and increase production of Ethanol Use Corn ...... Not to mention the shortage of fertilizer that will stymie additional production of this corn.
Ethanol should be completely removed from gasoline. Eff corporatist farmers and the RINOs they elect.
One local convenience store in New York.
They want your cars destroyed.
