Bingo! That's what the sales guy was getting at. Now that our last refinery (Nova Scotia) is long gone they bring in boat loads from some American refinery...Probably whatever they can get a deal on. The ethanol he is referring to will be in high test too, usually the full 10%. The E-0 (REC90) has a higher octane than regular 87 but that does not mean all high test is E-0 I've no idea why the dealer told Donnie to use high test. The book is very clear about using regular gas with ethanol no greater than 10%. Latest issue of American Motorcyclist Magazine has an article: "The ethanol industry is pushing federal regulators and lawmakers to approve the use of E30 fuel in non-flex fuel vehicles. E30 contains 30 percent ethanol and 70 percent gasoline, by volume. Most of the fuel sold in the United States contains 10 percent ethanol (E10). E15 fuel is approved for use in 2001 and newer passenger cars, but not in any motorcycles. Blends with higher ethanol content are restricted to flex-fuel vehicles—that is, vehicles specifically designed to operate on fuel with high-ethanol content. The sale of E30 for use in non-flex-fuel vehicles would require a waiver from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Emily Skor, CEO of the ethanol group Growth Energy, said she wants cities like Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta to follow the lead of South Dakota and permit the widespread availability of E30 fuel. The AMA opposes the spread of fuel blends containing more than 10 percent ethanol because confusing labels and lackluster enforcement can lead to misfueling, which can cause engine damage and void warranties. Studies show that most drivers and riders shop first for price. Because ethanol blends are usually cheaper at the pump, motorcyclists could inadvertently fill their bikes’ tanks with illegal fuel that could damage their engines and fuel systems and also void manufacturer warranties." Boat people are having the same problem. There are no outboards right now that say they will burn E15. This is just a huge boondoggle to benefit Cargil and ADM. Unfortunately the phony "environmentalists" who really just hate oil are on board in spite of the fact that ethanol is worse for the environment than petrol. My prediction that we will run out of water long before we run out of oil is starting to be more apparent. I know it is popular to blame earthquakes on fracking but nobody mentions the fact that they have also pumped the Ogalalla down to the point that they are having the equivalent of underground sink holes around the midwest as the earth is moving to consolidate because the water that was holding things up was pumped out onto corn fields from Oklahoma to Minnesota. Gosh...geology, too. How are you on planetary mechanics? This is not my theory, I am just relating things more qualified people than both of us say. If you actually paid attention to anything but MSNBC or Russia Russia Russia, you would have heard something about the draining of the Ogalalla and it's effect on the geology. I bet you even think your water supply is safe. I also understand how these things impacts my state. It appears you went to college back during the Johnson administration and then said you knew everything so you did not have to study anything after that. I have a relative who is a licensed and board certified environmental engineer. She knows quite a bit about natural water supplies. If I have questions about such, I'll ask her. There have been many predictions that we will "run out of water," and science news programs about the Ogallala Aquifer and its various impacts. I've watched some of them. Usually, I don't watch pop science programs and then regurgitate a bit of them here for the hoi polloi. So now the depletion of the Ogalalla aquifer is just pop science and the world is not having problems with water supplies in general. Maybe you should talk to your relative more often. I guess you think that as long as your well is still pumping, things are fine everywhere. Has the static level been checked lately and where was it 20 years ago? No, I think the "science" you present is pop science that is readily available on TV. I see a lot of talk about global warming on TV too. Does that mean it is just pop science? Simply because there are some fairly serious reporters talking about water shortages on TV does not mean it is not true. I suppose you heard about the situation in the western US? The big lakes are down hundreds of feet but I guess that is just pop science. The South Africans are pretty much out of water. Again, just pop science and one of the biggest disputes between Jordan and Israel is over water. But that is pop too I guess. It is a documented fact that in my lifetime the static water level in the Ogalalla is down over 300 feet. You can deny it or even try to minimize the effect but it is still true. I'm not questioning the science, be it "pop" or otherwise. See if you can figure it out, eh? Some times it is hard to figure out just exactly what you are getting at. |
