According to the Worldwatch Institute, the US Department of Agriculture Secretary, Tom Vilsack, is pushing for an increase of the current maximum of 10.2% ethanol in gasoline to 15-20%. Much of that is supposed to come from corn and, later, from cellulose (wood).
Under the current federal “Renewable Fuel Standard” the US is already slated to increase its use of biofuels from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022. That standard does not even include the proposed increase of the ethanol content of common gasoline.
The proposed revision would be a really bad idea and let me tell you why.

I now use something called Sea Foam....a marine engine additive to the gas. It works rather well.
Totally agree.
I have become very proficient at rebuilding the carbs on all my 2 cycle stuff. I also bought several spare sets of rebuild kits. I’ll be dead before I have to succumb to their sh!t
Whenever the percentage of ethanol changes, my car’s MPG is proportionally invesely impacted. Ethanol is to cars what high fructose corn syrup is to people.
The 10% level was a failure, so naturally liberals call for increasing the level, which will be a worse failure, so liberals will want it raised even more, and more, ....
Harleys really hate it.
I’m surprised we haven’t gotten any kickback here. Usually when an ethanol thread comes up we have some corn farmer/grain operator types who trumpet all the benefits of ethanol and show you all their BS links about how it doesn’t do all the bad stuff everyone experiences.
The SOB takes away your health insurance, then he fugs up your car.

I do the same.
I use PRI-I in my boat, weedeater,snowmobile, lawnmower, snowblower,etc.
A person would have to be mad to come in *here* and defend this crap.
Every single one of our cars has had chronic ‘fuel line’ issues.
Every single one was ‘fixed’ by replacing damaged nearly new lines or parts and adding stuff like Gas Dri, Sta-Bil or Seafoam.
The problem is *always* water in the system which is directly related to the ethanol sucking water from the air.
I hate the effin’ sh**.
-Hate- it.
Somebody upthread said premium octanes have none...apparently MD is different.
That’s what we use in the Harleys and they get the same ‘water in line’ problems.
How about the gubmint allow us to get our own oil, the farmer can grow food, and the camel jockeys can eat sand?
Thank you...
“premium octane” = “non-oxygenated fuel”
I hate it too. But I will tell you that I have had good performance with something called Sea Foam - a marine additive. I think my dosage is about 20ml per gallon IIRC.
I bought a whole case of the stuff on Amazon.
Interesting that the formula one and the drag racers have been burning Methanol and nitromethane for years perhaps the auto industry and small engine industry should do their part and make cars and engines that will handle the ethanol.
PING!
