Ethanol laced gas ruins thousands of smaller engines and carbureted vehicles every year, incurring extra cost in repairs, increasing waste as engines and devices have to be replaced, and increasing cost to the consumer while offering little to no energy independence advantage or pollution decreases.

They can keep offering E85 as that is a choice freely available to new car buyers if they want it, but the mandated regular gasoline E10 blends gotta go.

Biofuel additions to diesel and kerosene are non-standard - it's a percentage tolerance, give or take.

I can testify from personal experience that it crippled most of the consumer kerosene heaters on the market.

I had spot-heating with a kerosene heater down to a science until the government jacked up the kerosene supply with their biofuel additive requirement (extra moisture in the fuel).

It's up to 7% of "whatever" qualifies as a "biofuel".

Corn makes great whiskey. Fat hogs, cows, chickens, and good corn bread.
Oh and crap gasoline and if they legalize hemp corn will be toast. Lousy toast to be sure but toast none the less.
