^ you missed earlier posts, I run non-ethanol gas in my personal vehicles, better mileage and power. Ethanol is so hard on an engine, higher temps a propensity for predetonation and it eats away at seals in your fuel delivery system.
Of course the gov. doesn't care, I remember when they dropped the sulfur content in diesel, replacing fuel pumps at $1500 a pop.

Maybe (a big maybe) if your vehicle is 20+ years old. And alcohol burns cooler than gasoline.

QUOTE ^ eventually oil will be depleted, my great great great grandchildren will probably be lamenting that fact but then they'll be burning natural gas and coal. This ethanol thing is nothing more than a scam to get money to the farmers. Look at the money that's being spent there, $21900 an acre in Iowa in October! Yep Moparman, there's no money in farming.  The average is about $6700 per acre. The land your talking about is in northwestern Iowa where a handful of very big growers are in a pi$$ing contest for acres. So this is an extreme isolated situation. The real scam is allowing so much money to flow out of this country to import oil. Coal and natural gas have a their place but not as a replacement for liquid fuels. Pretty big pissing match  I agree, the money going out of this country for oil is sinful, especially when we have so much oil here. We're going to see more of these pissing matches, corn prices the way they are will ensure it. Will this be our next bubble?
These guys did the same thing last year when they paid a then record price of $20,000 an acre.
