I would agree (aside from corn farmers) there is nothing good about

In NC, the General Assembly, unable to ban labeling, defunded
enforcement. So, I wonder if consumers will actually know what they
are pouring into their tank.... unless the Feds are doing the
enforcement.

Ethanol is the biggest scam since the chlorophyll craze in the 50s.
The corn farmers want corn in everything and they figured out how to
get it in your car.

A real ecologist would point out it is worse than gasoline on several
counts, not to mention the depletion of the Ogalalla aquifer.
When that water is gone, we will forget there was ever an oil
"crisis".



Twenty years from now you will be more disppointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones
you did do.

So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Gene, what would replace the oxygenator in gasoline? That was the
original purpose of ethanol ... as a replacement for MBTE which was
banned.

Maybe you are of the school that engines today do not need an
oxygenator in gasoline?
