Ethanol is a bad idea anyway. I'd rather see them push electric

100LL will clog catalytic converters but lots of street/strip cars don't have those anyway. It will also foul O2 sensors if used for a long period of time. Otherwise leaded race gas wont hurt anything with occasional use, except your wallet.

It's more similar to kerosene but it can be used in diesel engines.

It no longer makes any sense at all. I use pure gas in all of my small engines.

Actually it did not. It takes more fossil fuel energy to make a gallon of ethanol than the ethanol produces. So it made the "crisis" worse.

It's a vicious circle. The farmers want the EPA to let them use pesticides, Trump says yes.

The oil and gas companies want to be able to pollute more and get out of buying ethanol. Trump says yes.

Farmers get mad and want handouts, Trump says yes. Watch, Trump will give the farmers billions more than the billions they are already getting in taxpayer money.
