Interesting story for bio fuels. Interestingly the requirement to add ethanol to gas doesn't go away, just the taxpayer subsidy, which could make things interesting when we start importing large amounts of alcohol. I expect it will be good for the consumer.

E-gas:   Really screws up small engines. plus, it runs hotter and provides less power .   Hence, less miles per gallon.   One word.............Crap!

  I got gas yesterday on the reservation. Big sign out front says no ethanol.  $3.76 a gallon. Three local stations are $3.93.

Yep; I've been using it , but that's fixing to change.  Found a Service Station that doesn't sell it.
My small chainsaws don't like it.  Lawnmowers do okay.

I don't have any choice, we got up to 10% of that stuff. I do use Marvel Mystery Oil when I can find it. I had no idea it was a good thing to offset the ethanol problems. :)
