Default An interesting little gas factoid...

I was just down getting coffee for the wife and guests from the local
coffee shop and there was a driver there from a local gas delivery
company. We got to chatting while I was waiting for the coffee and
pastry order and found this out.

Apparently, ethanol is heavier than gasoline. In normal conditions, a
gasoline delivery truck carries 13,200 gallons of gasoline.

With ethanol, they can only deliver 11,000 gallons at a time because
of the extra weight.


%%^$&%! Now you've gone and given the oil companies another excuse to raise
the price.
We don't get ethanol around here but that doesn't matter........any excuse
will do.
