Another issue to address are the effects that government mandated ethanol mixes have on government mandated emissions controls systems. Ethanol devours catalytic converters as well as attacking all sorts of hoses, gaskets and other assorted sealing devices and sensors.<br /><br />The link to ethanol free stations is great and there is an absolute lack of pure gas up here in Metro Atlanta. Smells like a business opportunity to me.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Shane BruceShane Brucehttp://bludgeonandskewer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141981908768031036.post-57485547630793134132011-05-21T13:31:15.042-04:002011-05-21T13:31:15.042-04:00I discovered this during my study of why HFCS is i...I discovered this during my study of why HFCS is in everything. I've found that corn is basically the source of all evil. Obesity (and with it diabetes and heart disease), high energy costs, environmental damage, food shortages, big agriculture (family farms dying, bad farming practices [CAFOs, chicken barns]) and increased allergies all link back to corn. I try to tell everybody because until we change our habits, the big companies (and the government) will continue the way they've been because it's more profitable and people seem to want it that way.<br /><br />I've been telling all my friends to buy ethanol-free gas, even if they pay a little more, but I couldn't find a station. I'll definitely be supporting Bob's from now on and tell my friends. I drive by there all the time, he should have a giant sign up: No Ethanol!katmeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006402503961722865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141981908768031036.post-62336130537062273842011-05-19T11:14:43.188-04:002011-05-19T11:14:43.188-04:00Anonymous,

You are correct in your assessment, but it was outside the scope of this particular posting.<br /><br />Personally, I'm more concerned about the increased food costs to American consumers, already whipsawed by massive job losses and rising energy costs.Ken Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942720211291749961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141981908768031036.post-32459812367796387292011-05-19T10:51:20.964-04:002011-05-19T10:51:20.964-04:00One angle not touched on is that by converting foo...One angle not touched on is that by converting food producing corp land into fuel producing land, it takes FOOD from a hungry world. This is in America's interest to show the world that Evil OPEC has caused us to literally take food out of the baby's mouth due to their high costs. Every gain the US sells on the world food markets is in part funded by taxpayers. Now the world has to see the consequences of America-basing and hating - and that their votes at the UN against us and all the protests by their poeple, especially those living in OPEC nations, is really a problem caused by high energy costs. Without this current program, the analysts say the Arab spring would not have occured without the higher food prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
