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

[Honky Tonk]

They use the rest of the gallon of petroleum to make other things.

Think Diesel, Jet Fuel, Asphalt, Plastics, some of the clothes you may be wearing, etc.

Using more than a gallon of diesel for instance to make a gallon of ethanol is insane. And that's before you factor in that ethanol is less dense, meaning we actually increase our use of petroleum by perhaps 15% in doing it.

Also we further strip the land of the necessary minerals that are supposed to be in our food, and we waste horrific amounts of water irrigating crops used for ethanol, while many places are having water shortages.

Destructive insanity, whose only purpose is to get votes for politicians in Iowa's early primary.

Plus, as posted earlier, your mileage will go down using an Ethanol blend. So, you're getting fewer mpg, filling up more frequently, and the environmental impact problems increase.
