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

[MikeM]

Will not be using it.

It increases oil consumption [as it takes slightly more than a gallon of petroleum to make a gallon of ethanol, and then your car gets about 5% less mileage with ethanol blend].

It also increases smog, especially when it's warm out, which is why many states ban it's use in Summer.

Also, we further strip the nutrients out of the soil growing all the extra crops.

And we use up huge amounts of potable water to irrigate the corn crops.

It's bad for older cars and power equipment.

And increases cost.


So it
- increases the demand for oil,
- increases pollution,
- is bad for the soil
- increases the use of fresh water
- and is bad for cars that aren't flex fuel.
- And makes gas more expensive.

So in typical Pres Biden fashion, he creates a problem, then makes it even worse with one of his 'solutions'.

Of course it wasn't a problem when Donald Trump pumped it to buy votes, lol!

And it wasn't a problem when President Bush enacted the ethanol mandate in the first place.

And it won't be a problem now, since you can't really buy it around here.
