The 15% ethanol isn’t really that bad, it’s the percentage of water that it attracts-which is basically unavoidable if it is transported or stored. As I recall, there was a time not too long ago when people got sued by the state or even went to jail for selling watered-down gas. Now, it’s the law.

It is as bad as pouring battery acid into your engine. YOU run that crap... dissolves live rubber seals... Viton rubber turns to jelly... I deal with this crap... I know what Chevron has to do to their equipment to blend and deliver it. It is a communist green dream to destroy "polluting engines".

Reduced fat or fat free milk used to be called BLUE JOHN, and that was punishable by law.

Now it's touted as the wonder of the ages!

It’s not just the water in it.

The mileage is worse, and it takes more energy to produce.

Ethanol is lose-lose-lose.
