Stop the mandate of ethanol in our fuel

In my opinion, I have a problem with probably 99% of what she (Feinstein) says....Just saying....

I think Hotboat, is eyeballing the heck out of this thread now to see where it goes lol

Back to the original point of the letter, I really don't know how harmful the ethanol is OR if it is any worse for your plastic/rubber/aluminum fuel system components than the alternative OXIDIZERs that have been used/tested.

I have been running 10% for several hundred thousand miles in my hoopties and my truck has the original fuel pump/system @100K plus miles (not flex fuel design). My 1989 mustang with mass air has the original fuel rails/fuel lines/regulator/soft return lines and is on it's second fuel pump @ 300K plus miles. In the 89 mustang I have worn out 1 1/2 5.0 engines and I'm working on my third AOD but it has the original injectors and pressure regulator (at 300k miles).

I had a 300K 4.6 mod motor town car, a 200k 4.6mod motor town car and a 180k 4.0 explorer sport track, all with original injectors/regulators/fuel pumps/sending units... Most of those miles were logged on 10% ethanol gasoline... Whatever that is worth...

4 of my boats engines are built to run on E-85. Love the stuff!!!!!!! There are many base stocks that could easily replace corn. Mesquite is not much more than a weed growing in the desserts that, requires little water and can produce twice as much ethanol per ton with little water and no chemicals.

Hard to believe all this whining over 6.5 ounces of Everclear added to a gallon of gasoline.

When you think of it as 1/2 a serving of beer or 1 serving of wine...it's not all that much let's not refer to it in Tequila terms...that's hangover material right there

Yep, everything from milkweed to mesquite will make ethanol. Corn just had bigger corporations backing it and the start up technology was easier.

It that thing was a hatchback I'd be making you an offer. Lowball but offer nonetheless.
