I have to buy a special gas treatment to keep my small engines to keep the ethanol from turning into sludge or empty there tanks. Ethanol would be better in E-85 vehicles that built withstand it!

What it did for fuel prices was negligble at the very best of times. I’ve never seen anyone use the ethanol pump at the gas station by me.

Ethanol for vehicles was just a waste of resources and time that could have been devoted to more promising projects to reduce our dependency on foreign oil.

Things should get a lot more desperate than this during the ugly downslope of cheap oil….

1. If fuel is cheap people just buy gas guzzlers and drive more.
2. If you subsidize E10, E15 again fuel is cheap people just buy gas guzzlers and drive more. But 70% of profit goes to foreign (often not friendly) countries because 70% in E15 and E10 is imported oil.
3. There are Hybrids and other fuel efficient car – they pay for themselves via fuel savings. When you subsidize fuel people do not buy fuel efficient car but buy gas guzzlers.

It is just wrong, stupid and evil to subsidize fuel in our days!
