Interesting article about ethanol:

"the conclusion is that U.S. biofuel use to date is associated with a net increase rather than a net decrease in CO2 emissions"

Gentlemen,

I am one of the largest independent retailers of E-85 in Arizona and that conclusion is correct. I sell it but E-85 is as big a boondoggle with taxpayer money as windmills and solar panels. Cheers.

And now there are lawmakers that are pushing hard to up the concentration of ethanol in standard gasoline from 10% to 15%. This would damage our fuel systems and I don't think my 2004 truck could handle it either.

What a joke.

I'm lucky; I have a ethanol station only 1 mile from the house. Quite a few of non-ethanol stations here in Idaho.

Not to mention that ethanol production uses a very large amount of water and consumes a food source. I live in a part of the country that has seasonal water rationing and loathe the fact that tons and tons of water are wasted making gasoline worse.
