its just a gimmick
they are using it as a "its better for the planet" thing to make people feel better about driving.
That 10% ethanol is actually worse than just straight gas. It doesn't burn properly because none of our engines, let alone fuel maps, are designed for that crap. So we are actually dumping worse shit into the air than when we were burning normal fuel.
Mix that with the worse gas mileage and we are using more fuel than before and it actually worse for the environment.
But, that 10% makes your average dumb shit feel better about driving cuz they have heard how fantastic ethanol is, and your average dumb shit doesn't even know how to figure gas mileage so they don't notice the over 30 less miles to the tank.
I wish I had stock in a fuel company, I could just live off of the dividends. They have this country by the balls and there really isn't shit we can do about it...
