Well, I didn't think it went in any particular direction either............



Lets hope that there IS MORE opposition to it in the future.



I'm with you. It needs to go (along with all the subsidies too!)

It's interesting how varied the experiences are. I have not yet experienced rubber failures or mileage decreases with the E10.

I'm just saying that I haven't had a problem with the 10% (E10) stuff in any of the gaso fueled things I have since it came out.......





The fuel injected grocery getters seem to run OK on it, except gas millage isn't what it used to be. T-Bird does alright also, unless you count all the accelerator pump cups & needle valves I've had to change. What galls me so much in the end is not the alcohol (petro supply NOT a bottomless well) but what is used to produce it. Other countries do fine with sugar cane, hemp, etc. that doesn't need so much fertilizer. The U.S. agro-chemical conglomerates have us by the balls.

Rick, my last post wasnt meant to go in any particular directiion.  It was the first time I know of that a media figure of significance took such direct opposition to ETOH in fuel.

Maybe we should get electric cars and put windmills on the rooves. Then a car would generate its own electricity and run on smiles. I'll bet some environmentalists would go for that. Let's all hold hands have an "Imagine" moment. RIP John Lennon ist.

We paid farmers not to grow corn for decades because we had too much, now we find a use for it and even with subsities we have a shortage.

Well,



you're not belaboring it at all.........I agree and actually think ethanol production (for mixing with gasoline) should be ended. (lets keep the drinking stuff though !!!)

At the expense of belaboring(?) the subject, here is a quote from a commentary made by David Frum, just out:  

Consider this: If you were to ask a panel of Democratic and Republican economists and policy analysts to name the single most wasteful, foolish and destructive public policy of the United States, they would almost certainly identify the ethanol subsidy high on the list.

The U.S. pays a huge subsidy to transform corn into motor fuel. Not only does the subsidy waste money, but it artificially drives up the price of food all over the planet. Many economic studies have cited ethanol production as the single most important driver of recent world food price increases.

I cannot say what it should get. I have been getting 34+ on the freeway.



When I fill it, I stop when I see liquid in the neck.



What ever I get I should see an increase when I use non-ethanol gasoline. You guys will be the first to know when I do!

Hmm, when I looked the fuel milage ratings on the Cavalier I found these stats; now maybe your Cavalier is different engine wise or final drive ratios.

I have been under the impression that posted millage on stickers have leaned toward the high side.
