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
You bet.
When gas was 4 bucks ethanol was less than 3,
When was that? You have any charts?
and its availability and blending it in, kept gas price from being as high as diesel
Any proof for that claim? How much gas was used to make all that ethanol? Maybe if that gas was used for autos, the price would have been even lower?
Go look at CBOT and other business sites for info.
Good idea. Ethanol is $1.60 and RBOB gas is $1.50.
And you get lower MPG with ethanol.
Nothing is supposed to evaporate as long as it is capped.
And we know all cars have good seals on their gas tanks.
And it isn’t a carcinogin like the other oxygenators that were used.
The only thing worse than ethanol is MTBE.
The price level of Diesel is what gas would be without the extra supply of ethanol.
Now how can you prove that?
We have people saying there was shortages of corn, but there was always corn, it was just high priced due to speculators,
High priced due to government mandates turning it into fuel.
