>>some low price outlets selling the 15%.

My mistake, it’s not 15% obviously - maybe they add water, the gas, though cheap, seems to suck for older cars.

I ended up buying a OBD2 sensor/control monitor device that allows me to reset that crap.....$100 for peace of mind for a long time.

Ever wonder why your Cornflakes are so expensive??

Today: US No 2 Yellow Corn: 5.87-6.28 13 higher.

E-15 will put upward pressure on those prices in the future.

Remember McCain went to Iowa and good for him, he actually called for an end to ethanol subsidies!

Due to Gov. Corn whores you must use additives w/every tank if you want to save your wheel$eat.

F'in corn whores suck dirt, . . can't say enough bad about them!

The local "go along to get along 'tards' who don't openly resent & protest this gov. crime are doing nobody any favors either!

I am concerned about my : 2 snowblowers
2 weed wackers
2 lawn mowers
1 chain saw
1 leaf blower

How about a class action lawsuit against the EPA for product damages and repair costs. I am a homeowner. Imagine how this affects landscaping companies , loggers, etc. whose livelyhood depends on 2 stroke small engines running properly.

“the existing fuel-distribution system will need upgrades to handle gasoline with higher ethanol concentrations.”
“higher-concentration ethanol blends will requires investment in a new storage and distribution structure.”

I've had good luck with those little fellers' spikin; each tank with a sprites from a can of starting fluid using a can top that has a little red sprayer straw on it.

when the little tank is full right before I put the top on I stick the straw way down as far as I can and spray as I pull out ("that's what she said") & quickly put the cap on.

I'm sure the fuel-distribution folks would love to jump in too, their junk is getting all gummed up from corn whore crap as well!

Try this stuff to undo some of the side effects of 15% Eff-em-all:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Ethanol contains about 30% less energy than gasoline, so 10% ethanol should drop mileage by about 3%...

If the efficiencies of extracting said energy were equal, which they are not. Ethanol contains less energy per unit volume, but extracts a higher percentage. It's not enough to make up the difference, but an honest comparison needs to look at more than just total amount of energy.

Obama is in the ethanol whores back pocket, and has been for years. The biggest of the ethanol whores is ADM (ArcherDanielsMidland) which happens to be an Illinois based company.

NO coincidence that when Barry had his State Dinner for China this week that ADM was invited, along with the Goldman Sachs whores, the JP Morgan whores, and the others who are selling out the people for their own greed.

My sensor has been going out for over four years. It’s time to replace it. Just wish it weren’t so expensive. I will get this car to 1 million miles, come heck or high water. I’m halfway there, anyway.

Seafoam helps solves the problem of ethanol polluted gasoline creating a gel that clogs the carb. It dissolves varnish as well. Scavenging the water attracted by the ethanol also reduces the formation of rust in the gas tank.

There is a link to a petition on that site to send to the EPA, then after you sign that it pops up another petition that attacks Sara Palin for her “Cross hairs” chart. The comments on that thread are, well, amusing.
