E-15

[1DOWN4UP]

PEDOJOE is talking upping the Ethanol in gas to 15%.Was reading thru my early model Toyota 2006 owners manual, and it said I Can Not run 15% ethanol ,and will possibly due damage to parts of my fuel system. Toyota still stands by this even after the 2001 compliance.My 96 f150 is doomed. This dumb arse move may be costly to some of us.

Well of course kill all of our old vehicles to force us to buy those new electric


I don't know why we need these new fangled horseless carriages my horse works just fine.....

Thing is they do not care. Not in the least. If there is money/power etc. involved, they will shove it up our backsides and not loose a minutes sleep. They don't pay for anything out of pocket or so it seems. If they did they would understand.
Scratch that last sentence. They don't care. Period.

Bingo.

some of the car care youtube channels are already documenting damage to engines. Biden needs to find an old folks home where they will not let him cause anymore trouble.

 

[indyartisan]

Not just Pelosi, I heard it was many of the Congress Critters bought stock.
They love their insider trading.
For the rest of us.
Mask up
Shut up,
and Pay up

Well said. Added a little tweak of my own.

I've met a few E-9s who thought they were E-15s...

I though E-15 was me, my Dad and one other guy who got his 3rd chevron.

Even if it was passed, the ethanol plants and terminals would have an extremely hard time keeping up with the demand. Most ethanol plants couldn't handle a 50% hike in production.

And getting the ethanol into the terminals would be near impossible as I see it. Most of our fleets are stretched so thin as it is now, we (all carriers I know up here at least) are still short staffed and short on equipment.

You know, it about more than just 'forcing' us to abandon our internal combustion vehicles and buy electric ones.

It's about decreasing the mobility of Americans; easier to 'govern' if we can't communicate with each other (personal business, interstate commerce, etc).

Exactly. The puppet in the WH has destroyed the economy, destroyed our energy independence and is wanting to keep us from being able to travel as we wish. The economy the way it is will lead to a housing collapse so that we'll all be unable to afford homes so everyone will need to rent, or at least a larger percentage than who do so now. What does that sound like? Hmmm...

Sounds kinda like that great reset to me.

If you can’t get gas it is hard to travel to DC for the insurrection…

I've had a long hatred of E-10, let alone now going to E-15.
It's harder on fuel systems and reduces gas mileage.

E-10 messed up every carburetor in my lawn and garden equipment to where several years ago I switched to running only non-ethanol gasoline in them.
Lucky there's a station in Lebanon that sells it at the pump.

On the subject of E-15, I remember President Trump talking of mandating it, and I was happy when it didn't happen.

Besides Gasohol being harder on fuel systems that straight gasoline, the idea of wasting corn for ethanol instead of for food is also stupid.

YES, when I used to have farm ground, it was nice that the price I could get for my corn went up, but it still didn't make sense.

You shouldn't be driving that old, unsafe, gross-polluting jalopy anyway. Putting yourself and everyone around you in danger by not having it crushed immediately. THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Imagine turning food into crappy fuel to burn in cars in the midst of a massive global food crisis.

Madness. We have the resources. Get government out of the way and drill them.

 

[HoughMade]

"Massive global food crisis"......OK

I mean, there's some issues transporting some food stuffs and getting specific ingredients in very specific circumstances because of that, but not because of a lack of supply of anything.

Tell that to chicken wings places, to my club, the shortages are real and likely to get worse, not better.
