Oh Vito,

You're way way off Key, Go sit in the corner with Dave!

It has never, ever been about Gasoline Bad, Ethanol Good. Never!

It has been, from the beginning, about the high cost of fuel brought on
by the price of foreign crude. Ethanol is a usable fuel, available right
now to help relieve some of the pressure of our dependence on that
foreign fuel.

It was decided, years ago. that gasoline was THE preferred fuel. Even
when we used straight run gas. When demand exceeded the available
straight run we started to Crack our petroleum and to Polymerases it to
increase the supply. The Cracked gas proved to be better than the
Straight Run. By the way; Octane is based on the old straight run
molecule; eight (Octane) carbon atoms/ ten hydrogen atoms. Sorry to
explain High School Chemistry but there seems to be a lack of
understanding. This Link gives a proper Burning rate, without detonation
in an older internal combustion engine, with the longer piston stroke.

It is the standard fuel used in the Lab. Octane Engine. So, now that you
know Lab Octane, you and Dave. I ask the question of both of you. What
is High Octane. Also, Tell us the difference between Lab. Octane,
Chemical Octane, and Road Octane.

In the meantime, Let's do what is necessary to wean the USA from high
cost Foreign Crude and become Fuel Independent, once and for all.
