They also confuse the RFS which requires renewable fuel to be blended into the transportation fuel mix with some kind of fictional “mandated use”. There is no regulation on consumption, if you don’t like ethanol, just go to www.pure-gas.org and find a station near you that sells gasoline without any ethanol. Driving thru western Virgina a while back they seemed to be on every corner!
The RFS does not mandate anything to consumers. Everyone is free to purchase bio or petro fuels as they wish.
LOL In your first sentence of your post, tell me the difference between requires and mandated use other than semantics. All rent-seekers (and rent protectors) use similar language and tactics,
