Ethanol threatens both your car [ regardless of age ] and your M/C along with significantly diminishing your MPG … thereby increasing your emissions . The only thing Ethanol does in fact benefit is AgriBusiness .. who’s main business of late seems to be guaranteeing yours and my demise with the poor and contaminated quality of food they’re trying to sell us
Time for vehicle owners 2,3,4,6, wheelers to start a protest against ethanol. Otherwise we will get screwed once again by the politicians that have a corn cob up t,heir asses.
@TJ Martin, be careful, using thought and reason can be dangerous. Didn’t you see the post below with the thought of the day stating that “If it is not in the interest of the public it is not in the interest of business.” ?
Didn’t you see the long list of learned posters insisting on the truth behind this statement and stating that anybody who says otherwise is a Commie?
You’d better watch out with your incendiary use of intellect, that will get you sent to Guantanamo!
Chris – Brilliant post ! I’m still laughing . Good to see someone else is here with a similar and very sarcastic sense of humor . By the way … I also heard in the next six months that common sense , logic and critical thinking will be ‘ officially ‘ outlawed . Any truth to the rumor ? 😉
I don’t know about what’s happening in the states these others guys live in, but in Florida ethanol free gas is available. Wawa sells it as boat gas even. I go a couple miles out of my way to buy from an independent that sells 91 octane ethanol free gas for about $.25 more a gallon than other high test. Certainly worth it and it’s a good idea to have an approved container at home to top.off with. The difference in my Harleys is very noticeable in performance and mpg. Well worth the extra quarter any time. Ride safely my brothers and screw agribusiness
Hey Guys, anytime you want Non Ethanol fuel just go to your local Marina that sells Fuel. You guys can buy all you want for $4.50 to $5.50 a gal. It depends on how much you buy and how big of a Thief the Marina Owner is. Most Boats have had to replace their Fuel Tanks with Aluminum. Motorcycle Business is really the Industry that is getting Screwed. Don’t forget a pair of 502’s Stock Motors burn about 60 Gal. an hour at 3200 RPM..
Lots of us have the “option” of paying up the wazoo for the good stuff, but we shouldn’t have to go through this BS in the first place since it doesn’t solve anything even on paper. I don’t mind paying $8 gal. for leaded 110 race fuel for mixing up w/non-ethanol to run an old 10.25:1 Studebaker, but at least there’s a REASON behind it.
Kudos to TJ for tying this to Agri business, GMO and our food quality! We need to shut these guys down. I found a petition against E15 that looks authentic.
