Is this what’s killing my Highlander’s oxy sensors? Originals died at about 50,000, replacements now about dead at 85,000. Doesn’t seem right????

This is a "feature" in Obamaworld.

It forces the peasants to buy new vehicles made by union thugs.

The left really doesn’t want the ordinary folks to have a private vehicle. They really want everyone to take the bus. If this forces normal people out of their cars, the left will be happy.

Of course, none of it applies to the ruling elite.

Damn communists Democrats are destroying America. Communism never works but the damage it leaves behind take many years to recover. Thanks to King Obama and his communists Administration Americans will regret not being more aware of who he is. I wonder how my lawn mover will take this mix.

Tyrannical rat bastards - deny my annual tag renewal unless I can pass their emission standards, then fill gas supplies with crap that ruin the ability to pass the test!

You “think” there are NO problems with E10 garbage. Just check around any boat marina and get the truth of the vast damage done to various systems in the marine environment.
Also check the thousands of owners of snow blowers, lawn mowers and other small “gasoline” engines. The damage totals into the many millions.
The problem seems to occur in those engines that are NOT started and run each day, as is most autos. The victims of this “fuel” are those that may, and usually do, sit idle for many days at a time.

More blown-up engines - more Cash for Clunkers = more sales for Government Motors = Increased Economic Activity.

So you see, it all works for them.

What does the EPA care about costing consumers tens of billion in repairs?

That's because it is NOT a push... it is a PUTSCH.

Growing up my brother swore by adding a 1/2 gallon of diesel to every tank of gas to “prevent knocking and keep the fuel pump healthy”.

Would adding a bit of deisel fuel to the tank work with modern vehicles....

The freaking E-10 ruins lawnmowers, weed eaters, chainsaws and outboards ...

I drive out of my way and pay .75 per gallon extra for straight gasoline ... and that is a hell of lot cheaper than replacing / rebuilding fuel lines and carbs.

Who the hell needs a study ... you could just ask any repair shop or anyone that owns a lawnmower.

TT

It should be noted that Obama mandated this without doing any testing on existing engines.

Car enthusiasts have known this for a long time. Ethanol is especially destructive to the fuel systems of older cars....in addition to all the other reasons that ethanol is a joke and a boondoggle. Yet, NASCAR and IndyCar (or whatever they’re calling it this year) promote the hell out of it. I guess they need to appease their corporate and government masters.

You don’t have to tell me about ethanol ruining engines. So far only small engines like lawnmowers. The guy who fixed one of my mowers said the best thing for his business is when they started putting ethanol in gasoline. I only put premium gas (no ethanol) in my small engines now.

That won’t matter. The Democrats will continue forcing it down our throats. They know it causes more pollution than it cures, but that doesn’t matter. They decided we are going to use it. They are never wrong.
