Comments would be good....thanks

We run that in our boats. We have put it in our truck before and there was only a slight gas mileage increase

Sure is, we pay more for it everyday when we buy corn based food products. The idiot that decided to use corn for fuel should have his head examined.

Thank god someone can see the light.
Yes. When they started putting ethanol **** in our gas , mileage plummeted , our lawn mowers , atvs , generators , and every other small engine started getting "gummed up" , and/ruined.

Brilliant idea to take food out of our mouths and pollute our fuel. Most people don't realize how much fuel is used to cultivate fields to prepare the soil to plant corn , then the fuel used to plant corn , then the fuel used to fertilize the corn , then the fuel used to spray the corn for weeds , then the fuel used to harvest the corn , then the fuel used to transport the corn , then the fuel used to process the corn. Yep. Big savings for the country. Made corn farmers rich , food prices high , and gas prices still went up and became poorer quality.

I'm a farmer. ...... Don't even get me started. Not a corn farmer - dairy

As a corn farmer, and FFA member I see the big picture. In the next 20 years we hafta feed like 2 billion more people on 50% of the ground.

Where can you get gas without ethanol? I've never seen or heard of it around here. Every pump says "contains up to 10% ethanol"

Gas - what a scam. Where I live in NY , you can drive 3 hrs in any direction and see up to 40 cents difference in price per gallon. Why ? Costs more to make - over there. BS
I always figured the big auto makers all had their hand in the fuel market anyways. Pretty obvious.
George bush screwed the country , owning oil fields , and watching fuel prices soar , getting us in the mess we r in.
Greed boys. Greed and money. Gotta love it.
Best of luck to everyone working a job , paying for all the retired state slugs , welfare , false disability claimers , Exxon , etc.
We are pickup truck owners - mainly !
