Do I have it right? The Ethanol Industry is pushing to replace E10 with E15 at stations that will not have E0 or E10 available?
Part of critical thinking is to ask Why or What. Why is it that the Ethanol Industry uses diesel in nearly every aspect of their field operations? Why is it that Massey Ferguson and John Deere aren’t flooded with orders to build E15-E100 tractors for the growers that are part of the Ethanol industry? Why is it they want to force us to use what they refuse to use?
Watch this ad, and ask yourself.. whose the dummy? Americans should have choices, and we need remember the litigious nature of the republic. Note that the legal fees generally come out of the public purse WHEN those choices are taken from us. If the EPA chooses to take a fuel recommended for your vehicle away from you, expect them to be in court for years defending themselves with your money.
America makes the right decisions via choices..
It is rather amazing how many people I’ve met over the years that really believe big oil bought up a secret patent for the 300MPG carburetor. They are too ignorant to look up what a patent is, and to understand that a patent by design shares the idea in return for exclusive rights for a period of time, and then we can all make or use the device without license or permission.
I expect the Ethanol Industry to be back asking us to help them eliminate Electric Vehicles from our list of choices… they think you are dummy enough to support their plan of forcing you to use their product? Doesn’t it remind you a little of MA Bell of past years? Government granted her exclusive rights, and you paid through the nose for a long distance call that was sometimes to a house less than 20 miles away!
If you want to rally ignorant people, claim big oil is out to take away their choices, spend a few minutes looking for those attacks, can’t find them? Neither did I.
You like Ethanol? You’re free to run it, and the industry is >already< free to sell it, why should they demand more? Are you allowed to force your customers to buy your goods or services?

What’s rather sad, is people WILL fall for this propaganda.
I would rather think that any DIYer that has done some research and math would fall into the category of “you’re no dummy” VS. the masses who feel the oil companies are the evil monsters.
I found a place that sells real gasoline by my house. I burn it in my small gas engines, but the cost is overly prohibitive in the daily driver. What baffles me is the marginal cost increase for the 100% gas is much more than one would expect for exchanging 10% of the fuel from ethanol. I suspect Conoco is the culprit because producing the 100% gas creates a special product in their manufacturing and distributing supply chain.
I can tell you that real gas is like night and day when compared to the watered down crap the masses are forced to buy. It smells like gas and my equipment runs better, cooler and has more power when cold, hot, bogged down, low RPM, etc. I also like running it in my new 4 stroke string trimmer.
