The ethanol mafia lives!

[BipolarBob]

Keep the government out of my doctors office and my gas tank.

[Wuli]

Buying votes in the corn belt.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

This does not MAGA. It’s corruption.

[Scrambler Bob]

15 % of ten gallons is 1.5 gallons.

How about I get 8.5 gallons of gas, and a separate 1.5 gallons of ethanol.

And drink up that 1.5 gallons while I burn the other 8.5.

Will save damage to the engine and environment.

May be some other consequences.

Further analysis invited.

[eyeamok]

Great lets ruin more cars

[struggle]

More knock per block!

[Da Coyote]

Oh no. Thought we were going to get rid of that cr*p.

[jdsteel]

“The proposed regulations WOULD allow 15-percent ethanol fuels to be sold...”

BUT is it a demand that they do so? Most pumps these days have everything from 15% ethanol to diesel. Perhaps it’s “rose colored glasses” but this might get rid enough of the crazy credit scheme so consumers could choose high ethanol blends (some engines are fine with that) OR blends with NO ethanol. And the refineries wouldn’t have to retool each season. Next we need to get rid of summer vs. winter blends.

[devane617]

not good. my car already hates it.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

No, no, no.

President Trump needs a vacation. All the vicious attacks and special interests are starting to get to him. A tanned, rested, and ready President Trump wouldn't even have considered this.

Next time a FRreeper drives through an "ethanol" state (Iowa or Kansas for example), take notice of the all the gas stations selling NO ETHANOL PURE GAS. One ubiquitous chain is famous for this, Casey's General Store. Apparently what's good for thee is not good for me.

 

[Secret Agent Man]

Idiotic.

Vehicles are not set to take extra ethanol well. Less mileage and more heat generation.

Plus it will pollute the groundwater worse. Gas plus ethanol polutes water worse than just pure gas.

JaVanka ?

[sockmonkey]

Thx, President Trump. I love paying $20 a gallon for SEF that doesn’t require me to deglaze my lawnmowers every spring, or just end up having to buy a new one out of frustration.

[CincyRichieRich]

We know it is true because the Washington Examiner says it? There is no chance they are projecting liberal desires?

[rlmorel]

I could not disagree more vigorously with the administration on any issue than I do on this.

What a shame.

[Flaming Conservative]

This is one area in which I disagree with POTUS. BTW, how did we EVER get along without the EPA?

[Fungi]

This nonsense has to end. We are not short of oil and the reason for doing this does not exist. Just another reminder it is almost impossible to cut spending and subsidies.
So Trump wants to abolish the Legal Services Corporation, an entity that sued congress to continue its funding and existence. Do it, do it, and with it end base line budgeting, drain the swamp and just do it for God sakes!!!! When will the madness stop?

[Sequoyah101]

Trump has lost me on this one.

Ethanol is a scam, corporate welfare, farm welfare and as a fuel it sucks.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

DISASTER.

[Osage Orange]

This is bullshit.
