RePo said:That Ethanol is some really REALLY nasty stuff. So highly corrosive, it's better than sugar if you want to ruin an engine. E85 is so bad, it even eats varnish out of a gas tank where the fuel has been allowed to expire and congeal. That's the only thing I've ever used it for.

Never mind the facts, just make the statement and that will make it true (NOT). The OIL INDUSTRY has put out so many false statements about Etanol that is just accepted without question. And of course we believe everything the oil industry tells us, don't we? Especially what they try to tell us about Electric Cars.TomT said:Oh yeah, Brazil IS the standard bearer when it comes to vehicles, fuel, economics, and technology...
Ethanol is a terrible idea, period, on so many fronts!

Much of the ethanol produced in this country requires roughly the equivalent amount of fossil fuels to grow it. As a result, we are merely wasting farmland at great expense. The ethanol produced causes our ICEVs to wear out prematurely as a result.lkkms2 said:"Good" Facts to Know about Ethanol. Nice to have alternatives to regular gasoline.
