I agree with every poster so far. Ethanol is a bad deal - environmentally, decreased gas mileage, with so many hungry people in the world using food for fuel is insane.
I want to add, that after I fill my tank with ethanol gas and drive off from the station, I start smelling an alcohol smell inside the car whether the windows are up or down. It's alcohol fumes, i don't know why it's there, but I don't like it. It can't be healthy.
Anyone else noticed the alcohol odor in their car?
Where's the Left's crusade against corporate welfare when you need it?
Personally, I been too busy laughing MAO since Cheney shot that rich corporate lawyer in the face pigeon hunting and, of course, watching my house value and the value of the US dollar sink like a stone.
True. Now how much fossil fuel had to go into producting the ethanol? The net energy gain or loss needs to be honestly discussed as well as the impact on food prices from so much American farm land being used to product ethanol.
Correct! And while we are discussing the negative impact of ethanol, let's not forget the drying up of the aquafirs in our country's croplands, due to increased irrigation of corn for ethanol. Many cities have already begun water rationing...
