As long as the ethanol doesn't evaporate and cause more smog. As long as the ethanol doesn't absorb too much water.
40 years ago I couldn’t drive in Detroit without my asthma going crazy. Now the air there is nearly as clean as here in outstate MI.
It's amazing how much cleaner the new engine technology has become.
If gas was as high as diesel, like years ago
Is this your math proof?
the 50 cents or more per gallon difference added on the approximate 250 billion gallons pump gas
Approximate? How about some links with real numbers?
would add 125 billion to come out of consumers pockets. Fair trade for a tax credit of 5 billion.
What does the price of diesel have to do with the bad deal we get with ethanol?
Ethanol is one little factor that helps..
Helps raise prices. Helps cut MPG.
You say it raised prices. When gas was 4 bucks ethanol
was less than 3, and its availability and blending
it in, kept gas price from being as high as diesel,
which at the time was a dollar more.You want links
look at the signs outside the stations, how can anyone
forget the huge prices listed. Go look at
CBOT and other business sites for info.
Since I get gas with ethanol I don’t have to use drygas
in the winter. Nothing is supposed to evaporate as
long as it is capped. And it isn’t a carcinogin like
the other oxygenators that were used.The stations here that don’t have 10% blend give us more trouble with water
problems than those that have 10% blend ethanol.
The price level of Diesel is what gas would be without
the extra supply of ethanol. That’s what I am relating
to. My V8s don’t loose any milage with 10% ethanol,
as that raises the octane, and allows the computor
to advance timing so that the whole mixture burns cleaner
with out spark knock. And with the whole mixture burning
cleaner(extra oxygen supplied by ethanol) little more
power and an extra mile per gal in 3 of my V8s.
We have people saying there was shortages of corn,
but there was always corn, it was just high priced
due to speculators, who by the way own the damn
companies that are the Grocers Alliance feeding this
ethanol bashing crap to everyone.Ed
