Hence the application. The leftists want you to destroy your ICE so you can replace the entire vehicle with an electric one.

Adding ethanol to gasoline is STUPID. But if you WANTED to do it, it would be much more efficient to produce ethanol from the ETHANE in natural gas! You government DUMMIES.

It’s just like saying let’s all drive electric cars.

I knew I should have bought up the empty land around Silver Peak, NV when I passed thru there in March of '63!

Destroying our engines with E-15 ethanol then forcing us to buy undesired electric cars.

It’s just like saying let’s all drive electric cars. Electricity is magic and appears out of thin air!

Green energy planning is much like the Cargo Cults on Pacific islands after WW II. It is based on saying the right incantations and producing the right symbolism and stuff will appear.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult

A cargo cult is an indigenist millenarian belief system, in which adherents perform rituals which they believe will cause a more technologically advanced society to deliver goods. These cults were first described in Melanesia in the wake of contact with allied military forces during the Second World War.

Isolated and pre-industrial island cultures that were lacking technology experienced soldiers and supplies arriving in large numbers, often by airdrop. The soldiers would trade with the islanders. After the war, the soldiers departed. Cargo cults arose, attempting to imitate the behaviors of the soldiers, thinking that this would cause the soldiers and their cargo to return.

Some cult behaviors involved mimicking the day-to-day activities and dress styles of soldiers, such as performing parade ground drills with wooden or salvaged rifles.

The sale of E15 gasoline is usually prohibited from June to mid-September because of air quality concerns.

This inflation crisis CAN’T be caused by the fact that our government is spending more dollars than it has while restricting petroleum production ....CAN’T be.

The greenies are thoroughly mesmerized by Julian Lennon singing Imagine for the people of Ukraine.

You could always buy some baby back ribs for $6/lb or a ribeye steak at $14/lb. A gallon of milk for $3.50.

I have an older truck (2008) and in the owners manual it specifically states to not use fuel that is E10 or above.

It is not a flex-fuel vehicle and cannot handle the E15. Specifically the alcohol will dilute the oil on the cylinder walls, and will wear the rings and cylinder walls faster. It will also contaminate the oil in general, causing main and rod bearing wear at higher rates.

This is the plan to get rid of older vehicles. They also don’t have all the electronic gadgetry that is able to be used to track the vehicle.

They want these vehicles off the road, they are a menace to their plans

The ONLY reason Brazil produces so much ethanol from sugar beets is because they do not have much petroleum. Unlike, say US for example. What little petroleum Brazil has is 12 thousand feet deep under the Atlantic Ocean. Making it expensive to extract.

Also, they can grow sugar beets year round because their country is on the Equator. They grow sugar beets cheaper than anywhere else in the world.

It is the biggest Iowa boondoggle in the Department of Energy that we turn our feed corn into ethanol when we have such huge reserves of petroleum available. Just because their first in the nation caucus.
