My local shell is doing this. Is this a legal thing. Is it bad for the car. Men, just realized this today.

This can be a repost so sorry. Do you know who else is doing this. They are diluting to 10% ethanol. What a ripoff

actually ethanol is better for the enviroment and is more powerful than regular gas, its perfectly legal. less expensive too.

ethanol comes from corn haha jsut so ya know

this isnt new at all man. most stations are at 10% ethanol max limit.

that ethanol mix sucks!! My mileage dropped when they started doing that...ethanol as actually less efficient than regular ol' polluting gas!

Sucks im paying more for gas and im not even getting 100% gasoline!!!

The more ethanol the cheaper the gas (in theory)

e85 ethanol has been around. Google it.

I just ate a lot of corn for dinner.... Looks like later I am going to be making some ethanol







No but seriously, the prices went up, and I feel we are paying more. This is bull. $4.05 for my plus gas at Chevron. Ppffttt... Waaa waaaa, that's me but damn.

dayum 4.05!?!?! plus here is 3.96 i think?? almost there though luckily i got this 0.05 off my gas coupon card from my insurance company for "being a safe driver" right after i got my ticket

but yeah ethanol has been around for a long time now.

No, it's not. It is a less efficient fuel, yields less power, and is more expensive to make.

x2 - you can feel a slight difference [like going from 93 to 91] and it doesn't get as good of mileage.

True to both, The only advantage of it, is that it's a "renewable" fuel sorce.

When your buying food at your local kroger, you can thank ethonal for the higher prices.

All the farmers are coverting over to Corn-fields, (takes ALOT of corn to make ethonal) and so prices for lettuce and tomatos and sh!t are going up. there are just less tomatoes being grown...supply and demand...

Sucks dont it?

Most of the crops used to make ethanol aren't sold to the public, rather to feed livestock.

It takes something like 10 gallons of gasoline to make 1 gallon of E85.

It's not new (and it might seem biased, i dunno you decide,) but this article is an interesting read.

Oh, and Ted Turner gets gov't subsidies because he owns agricultural land

and so food prices continue to rise for meat~

Everything is going up, except my salary.

Luckily I'm in a postion to command double the cost of living increase every year. It helps that I invented half the products we manufacture tho.

x2,3,&4

so it sucks, i never really paid attention.

Everytime i go to this specific gas station my car sometimes is not as responsive.

I think its drunk

i will look around to find if i can get a more reliable source of petro. and not etoh.

Lets all thank the EP.... for rising gas prices....

our salaries will go up this year. we are all getting the 1 dollar rebate

That pretty much sums it up. Thank god the federal government has come to the rescue with the economic stimulus.

Oh wait, that's taxable income. And will most likely be used by most to pay bills. And gas shot up again, and Saudi Arabia has rebuffed Bush's request to pump more oil (as of today on CNN.com). The price of grain has skyrocketed, because there's one particular type of rice that there's a shortage on. So domino effect because of all the other grain being $ increased, everything goes up. There goes my stimulus check. Mini wheats, electricity and gasoline. Gone.

Yeah, ethanol. It's legal and it burns cleaner, but it's about to burn a heck of a LOT cleaner when people can't afford to put gas in their cars any more. This is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks, dubyuh.
