If some politicians get their way it sounds like gasoline sold with 10% ethanol will be increased to 15% ethanol. I think it would lower the MPG for vehicles and those who use ethanol gasoline in their small engines would do more harm do their caburators. Doesn't sound like a good idea I hope the bill doesn't pass. Perhaps another positive reason for some people to buy a electric vehicle.

I am still a huge fan of RV gas. Use it in both Stihl chainsaws, stringtrimmers, leaf blowers, wood splitter, riding lawnmower. If it weren't a buck more a gallon than regular i would run it in both vehicles as well.

Mandating ethanol for oxygenating fuel is a boneheaded idea. Mandating some kind of oxygenating agent might be OK, but not which one to use. In addition, making ethanol from corn is pure politics.

Isn't the carbon foot print for making ethanol from corn pretty high? I understand it is about 24% more carbon intensive than gasoline. I don't understand the point of raising the ethanol content in gasoline if we are trying to reduce carbon emissions. Sounds feather bedding for the corn farmers.

That's all I'll put in the RAM (and my other gas engines).
