Paul again, links to peer reviews studies performed by qualified petrochemical engineers and mechanical engineers please. I know that on our last 3 vehicles going from E85 to E10 on the 2 that were/are flex fuel resulted in an increase of about 25% increase in economy over E85 and when I can buy gas without any ethanol I see about a 1 to 1.5 MPG gain.
Direct subsidies paid to ethanol producers were ended by the feds a few years ago. But some states are still paying those subsidies, generally with money given them by the feds.....plus ethanol mandates are a back door subsidy.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
