Leland, I stand corrected. Must have been half asleep as my brain was pluging E-85 into biodiesel. Yes, we could stsnd to use more Ethanol blends. I think here in Michigan its 90% 10%. Anyway, however you cut it, I can"t for the life of me understand how folks will gladly pay $1.00 for that bottle of water @ $8.00 per gallon when all they really do is run it out of a tap, and complain about the greed of oil companies who have to transport the crude, blend it to every stats individual specs, transport it again, store it, transport it to the dealer, get the holy living crap taxed out of it, and end up making a fraction of what the water bottler makes per gal. Yes, it is more expensive, but in all reality, fuel is cheaper today than it was at 30 cents per gal. It takes less percentage of our income to pay for it now than it did 35 years ago. We didnt gripe then, we didnt call the oil companies crooks then, so how can we deny them a profit today? I still say that the greediest people that affect our lives today is our legislators who continue to tax, tax, and tax with no restraints or accountability. Those thieves are the ones we should be having issues with. The corruption starts and ends right there, period.
