We are forced to use it because politicians and big corporations are stuffing their pockets at our expense. It's a huge scam under the pretense of ecology, improving the environment, what a joke, it only improves their finances.
No fan of ethanol either.
You either make the engine run on 100% ethanol like what we used to race with back till it got banned in the 80's or strait fuel, the two do not mix.
It is like being 1/2 pregnant .
Down here they are forcing it down our throats by mandating what percentage of total fuel sales has to be ethanol or they get fined and if they repeatidly fall short they loose their license to sell fuel.
When a no-ethanol station outsells the two nearby stations by a ration of near 2:1 despite being more expensive it says something that governments need to listen to if they want to remain governments.
AS an old ( totally unsuccessful ) bike racer, nothing would make me happier than to run my mower on Shell A + Castrol R.
OTOH in the country with the largest foreign debt on a per head of populations basis, anything that lowers the USA debt is a good thing cause if China called in the USA's debt every cent earned by every person in the USA for 5 years would have to go there to pay off the loans.
If Japan did the same it would take 12 years and you can add another one for the paper Korea holds.
Trying to find out how much paper the middle east holds is near impossible but I heard that Iran pre revolution held a massive amount of USA bonds as does Saudi Arabia.
