When the Clinton administration mandated that every gallon of gasoline would contain 10% deathanol, the oil industry (refiners, distributors, retailers) said the by doing so, the costs of a gallon of gasoline would increase by 65 cents.

I suspect that by now, that figure has increased considerably.

Plus, that does not take into account the huge subsidy that we also pay to the deathanol producers.

Congress has legislated the American public into a surreal world of energy dependence on foreign governments; they have successfully crippled the only partially "free market" economy in the world.

And now, the law of "unintended consequences" takes effect with soaring food prices world-wide.

Bowing to the "greens" will eventually starve millions to death, thus my name for mandated dependence on ethanol: DEATHANOL.

It’s almost time for pitchforks and torches.

Still getting worse mileage with all fuel that has ethanol added to it.
Have my mileage records back to Aug 1980 when I bought the station wagon, and back to 1986 when I bought the dually truck. Ethanol is killing my mileage. Got 6-6.8 MPG with truck hauling horse trailer in 1988. Now getting just a tick over 5 with same truck and new motor...
