More like a revolving soap box door! Just leave it open, that's what forums are all about. HA HA
In AZ, we are forced to use gasoline with 10% Ethanol for about 8 months out of the year. It's not clear which direction the original thread was taking. Was Corybud talking about 10-15% Ethanol or 85% Ethanol(E85)?
Great Edmunds article! E85 gives you crap mileage because of the low BTu's as compared to gasoline or even 10% Ethanol. E85 is only marginally less expensive.
I agree that the whole E85 program was political from the beginning. On the plus side, it's making money for the American farmer for a product used in America in primarily(or maybe only) American cars. On the down side, political greasy palms made money as well. We can only hope those politicians used that money to buy something else American.
