What the author doesn't mention is that the very same Democrats who were petitioning FOR the ethanol inclusions are the ones now calling for its scaling back.

    Never admit and repeal a mistake just pile on more and wait for the new unintended consequences. Last year the garbage destroyed a slightly used chain saw of mine. I now have a new saw and must go 10 miles out of my way (20 there and back, in a truck that gets 12 miles to the gallon) to buy alcohol free gasoline for it. Brilliant...

    Good find, Blarman!

    Here in Florida, people use their boat pretty much year 'round. A nasty shock comes to people with built-in fuel tanks. Those tanks are fiberglass. Alcohol dissolves the bonding agent in a comparatively short time. The dissolved matter along with loose fiberglass finds its way through the fuel injection system and some of it into the cylinders. The end result? A new, rather expensive engine, or a nice boat for sale cheap. Minus the engine, of course.
