My son could be the plaintiff in a lawsuit on this. He worked and saved his money up to buy his first car: a 98 Toyota Camry. If ethanol destroys his engine, he’s got no way to get to work, and can’t afford a newer car.

The Maverick stores in Utah have non-ethanol gas. No one in Texas does?

So this crap costs us poor folks even more money

from lowered fuel mileage

plus the extra spent for gas treatment products

to protect your engines.

District of cartels couldnt care less for its serfs.

There has to be a suit to block this before it wipes out every car made before 2001.

Democrats doing the pelosi hand rub in glee as they predict millions of cars will be off the road with destroyed engines soon and the new e-car market demand will have a great surge. This edict makes the greenies very happy and ev mfg happy along with chinee battery factories ecstatic. The poor/lower middle in the U.S. that rely on older used cars better get used to riding in bidets busses.

Sweet corn is what you buy in the grocery store by the ear or in the can/freezer bags.

Cow corn is what farmers grow to feed livestock. This is the type of corn also used for ethanol production.
So, diverting more corn production to use in ethanol makes feed corn more expensive. It probably has an effect on swine and cattle feed pricing.
It is not going to affect the price of milk.

Mr. GG2 buys the non ethanol gas for his chain saws etc. There is some gas station near us that sells it. We just got a generator so I guess we have to put it in that also.

which will mean the cost of the gasoline from the refineries will increase,….. which will mean the cost of the gasoline at the pump will go higher. So the refineries/oil companies are just getting greedier. (This is what will come from the Brandon admin and his followers)

There are fuel additives that you can add when you fill the tank that will protect your engine.

Corn is corn. There are varieties of corn but it breaks down to field corn and sweet corn. The sweet corn is what you buy at the grocery store. Field corn is made into products like corn chips and such. But, also, corn production is fertilizer intensive, and if a field is producing corn, it isn’t producing wheat.

Nearly every gas station around here has a non-ethanol choice, either 91 or 87 octane.

Yep, all small engines. It's fine for cars too, I think it's 93 octane, but just too pricey for normal fillups.

I, too, buy non-ethanol for my small engines to keep from having to change the carburetors.

Incidentally, whenever I sell my old used truck and replace it with another used one, I test the non-ethanol gas in it for a couple of tanks. It always improves my gas mileage just a hair vs the corn syrup version of gas, but never enough to warrant the cost difference.

15% mix is called E85. Deadly for most engines not specifically designed for flex fuels. The rubber cannot take this, and the engine temps damage the engine, and the fuel is less efficient so less gas mileage. All bad.

There are no enzymes that can change alcohol into gasoline. Sorry.

"like outboard boat motors, motorcycles, lawnmowers, generators or chain saws

I guess that means we might not be able to save our refrigerated food from those predicted bidenized power failures coming soon.

There’s a station in my small town which offers Non-Ethanol Gasoline.
