Ethanol kills engines. Corn should be used for food, not put in gas tanks.

Bingo, they will get us to switch to EVs by ruining our ICEs.

“Ethanol kills engines.”

LOLQ

Mustang Fuel Change Up: E85

Internal combustion engines, as we know, rely heavily on fuel in order to make power. There are different types of fuel that can be utilized. A growing, more common fuel, is a great alternative to traditional pump gas. E85 stands for 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. At a normal pump gas station ethanol percentage can be up to 10% ethanol and the rest gasoline. There are many benefits, along with a few drawbacks, of running E85.

What is the Overall Purpose of E85
It’s simply a different type of fuel, generally speaking. E85 is primarily utilized when more power is desired without making any other changes (other than a tune and fuel components). It is rated at 100-105 octane and runs cooler than traditional gasoline which allows the car’s timing to be increased, making more power overall. For large, boosted applications, this can result in a solid increase in power. Another nice benefit of E85 is the price. When in comparison to traditional gasoline, it’s cheaper by the gallon, which means more rubber to lay down on the street!

Plus from all accounts, that corn will be more useful and needed for feeding animals. Animals, not people. The corn used for ethanol is feed corn, not corn people buy to eat.

I'm sure the owners of all the 200,000 mile beaters on Craigslist are scrupulous to use only E0 fuels.

On the Lars Larsson show he said that cars and trucks built before 2007 would have problems running 15% alcohol. Many people still drive 220 year old cars. This new blend will ruin their engines...but maybe that’s the point. They can trade in their 1998 Corolla for a Tesla.

That’s the idea. Once your car breaks down they’ll only let you buy an electric one.
