Yo, why does your car breakdown more often? "Ethanol"
Ask your mechanic for the facts! This obscene view of Government, that Ethanol is saving on Oil use, is asinine!!!

It`s money being taken out of your Bank Account to fix your car, while the Investors are making a bundle, enough, is enough!!! Take note of the people who support this!!!

EPA's plan to boost ethanol use in gasoline gets hearing

All sides of the ethanol and biofuels debate are questioning a federal agency's proposal to boost the amount of renewable fuels blended into gasoline.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency held its only public hearing Thursday in Kansas City, Missouri, on the plan to boost the levels of biofuels next year and biomass-based diesel levels for 2018. Roughly 140 people were scheduled to testify.

The EPA's final rule is expected by the end of the year.

Next year's target of 18.8 billion gallons of renewable fuels, mostly ethanol, is less than the 24 billion-gallon threshold set in a 2007 renewable fuels law.


Ethanol advocates largely in farming states testified the target is too low. Oil companies countered that the market, not the government, should determine how much ethanol is blended into gas.

I think ethanol was one of the dumber ideas to ever come down the pike.

I mean............the amount of corn required to make 1 gallon of ethanol can feed quite a few people.

Using food for fuel is stupid in my book.

Well, one doubling of the energy density of the present batteries, and we won't have to worry about gasoline driven vehicles in a generation.

Do not put ethanol in your lawnmower, boat, motorcycle, classic car or ATV. It voids your warranty because it ruins the engine.

If you use a gas treatment (and most lawn equipment tells you to do so), and make sure the ethanol content is less than 10 percent, you're okay.

You can pick up the gas treatment at just about any hardware store. It says on the stuff that I use that one ounce will treat 3 gallons of gas.

Well, considering the advancements that have been made by companies like Tesla, I think that electric cars will be more plentiful than gas engines by 2050.

That's good to know. Thank you!
