I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it’s British, it’s from an American trucking company who just wanted more miles out of their equipment.

No, we don’t want ethanol subsidies. We also don’t want any so-called “renewable” ethanol in our gasoline. The whole thing is a scam. And NRO has become more and more establishment-RINOish every day.

Wake up. Ethanol in gasoline is just plain STUPID from every point of view.

In this case, NRO is agreeing with you.

Agreed.

Real fuels don’t need subsidies and mandates in order to survive in the marketplace. Ethanol is harming your economy: all for the enrichment of the corn lobby.

Here's the timeline to now:

--Al Gore casts deciding vote in favor of subsidies.

--Complete concusses that ethanol saves the planet.

--Al Gore admits subsidies were pork.

--Complete concusses that ethanol is stupid.

The only thing we got left coming up here is leaked doc's from some Dem ticked off at Gore that prove Gore was bought and paid for.  My bet on the timing is early 2012 is during the primaries --with evidence linking Gore to Hillary.

It’s possible to buy REAL gasoline at certain stations here in Aiken County, SC. For the last six months or so I’ve been rotating a tank of real and a tank of fake in my truck. I’ve burned about 325 gallons of each to try and even it out. As of now, my truck is getting about 3.01 more MPG on real gas.

Tell me again why I have to subsidize frigging ethanol?

What is a concusses? Consensus?

The free dictionary is my favorite for vocabulary restinction, like, it's even handier and easier than snarky posts.   It has "concusses" as the plural of concuss:

con·cuss    (kn-ks)

tr.v. con·cussed, con·cuss·ing, con·cuss·es
To injure by concussion: "a middle-aged woman concussed by a blow on the head" (Manchester Guardian Weekly).

--and the point being that with the global warming alindate, head injuries explain Gore much better than anyone's willingness to eschew obfuscation.

They should just as well use water in our gas other that ethanol.

Our engines will still get ruined and still get the crappy MPG’s but we’d save a bundle of dollars.

Theres a web site out there that tells you where you can buy uncontaminated gas in your area.
I don’t have a link though.

EVERYBODY should check that site out — my motor home gas mileage improved FRom 6.5 to 8.0 merely by switching to Real Gas.

Likewise, my old Caddie imrproved by 2.5 mpg.

Gasahol is CRAP!

The sooner we are rid of it, the better!
