Will You USE Blended Ethanol Gas in Your Car? Will it help?

[Richard]

Lol maybe us old-fogeys have been around long enough to realize it’s not that simple.

You youngsters should watch your pro nouns with the Dude and Guys thingyou do not know what we identify as,personally I can be a he that identifies as a she but prefers to be called a them,see us old fogeys do not wonder why you youngsters seem so confused,it’s pretty clear.

We also down south do not use summer and winter blends,which is not actually a blend,it’s an additive package that is poured in the tank when the tankers refuel and no have not seen E15 as of yet.

I posted the tax credit that was passed into reality,E15 is not a temporary fix,if it was there would have been no need,it was already pre planned,when was the last time law makers every came out with something like that before even it was announced to switch to E15 so the switch was decided at least 1 year ago.

No way they could have wrote that law or figured out the tax credits and implemented it in a matter of months.

Before the gas price increase.

For all we know the price increases could have been deliberate in order to do the E15 switch as an excuse.Like I also posted,new EPA restrictions are coming out and companies do not have the millions it takes to comply,so they have to have work around in order for production to be stable.

Mid terms are coming up and consumers are going to driven by the economy,so you will see a lot of things that will pop up that look good on paper but solves nothing or creates long term bad results.

Granted we,myself included did go off track,and we rely on you younger whippersnappers to bring us back in line,but you should really do it with something more credible then,it will never happen because gas stations do not have the infrastructure.

Unlike you youngsters who are easily manipulated,old fogeys have been around the block a few times and have a few more life experiences under their belts,not so easily fooled.

Gas prices went up because 129 out of 135 refineries went idle in the U.S. because of COVID and low demand,COVID is over and it takes time for a refinery to start ramping up production,so it would have been a temporary supply and demand issue,there was no need to create a solution for a problem that did not exist.

The problem was not with prices at the pump,the problem comes in if those 129 refineries have to shut down in 2023 because of newly implemented EPA pollution guidelines on the refineries.

So they threw them a lifeline and called it E15.

The president could have had the EPA extend the deadline,but then he would have lost political points with the save the planet crowd and they would be in an even bigger rampage under the claim a that he was walking back in saving the planet.

So they did it in a round about way that saves face,it’s politics.

They are doing the same thing with refineries as they did with the steel mills,they cannot directly shut them down,but they sure can regulate them out of existence.

I bought my Jaguar 8 years ago for $500,the PO brought it to 3 different specialist mechanics because it would not run and none of them could get it running.

Granted it took me 3 days but what it ended up being was the fuel separation problem,they tried cranking it which filled the fuel injectors with the separated mixture,which corroded them shut quickly.

So I changed the injection rails,drained and refilled the tank and it runs,the only thing I have spent on the car has been normal maintenance items,the PO took a $10,000 bath on the sale at the time.

Politicians brilliant ideas that end up costing consumers millions.
