Going past 10% will ruin older cars and cause MORE pollution. Only last week, I bought gas without ethanol at $10 per gallon just to keep that crap from ruining my chainsaws and other power equipment. It is AMAZING how much cleaner they run now.

Regulations like these are for purposes such as coddling Iowa because of the caucus date. The UAW likes them too, because it forces people to buy new equipment. But they also kill rural Americans economically. For example, I have a 1969 Dodge Power Wagon I drive no more than 500 miles per year, 90% of it on dirt. I use it for thinning forests, repairing historic erosion problems, dock-loading materials and the like. It has a PTO driven dump flatbed, with stakes, multiple sets of boards, a 20' rack, and a crane. It would cost me over $50,000 to update that truck to handle the new gas.

“I bought gas without ethanol at $10 per gallon”

I’ve had pretty good luck with using either the blue Sta-bil (not the red for ethanol) or Star Tron additives with E10. Both are good stabilizers that counteract the effects of the ethanol, and a $10 bottle treats 50 or so gallons.

This article is about sulfur, not ethanol.

That junk is ruining weed whackers, too.
