SonofaBitch! You turn your back on these EPA "savants" for just a moment & the next thing ya know, they're back to trying to screw up our gasoline again!
The consumer has repeatedly told Washington that we don't like this ethanol crap, but faced with the lobbyists of the Ethanol Industry, the EPA sneaking around with a new 30% proposal. The NY Times uncovered the EPA's deception in it's March report on lowering sulphur levels on gasoline. NY Times
There is a glut of ethanol overcapacity in today's marketplace, due to the herd of opportunists that jumped on the idea that the Govt will force it down our carburetors. The OEMs & their customers have repeatedly voiced their concerns about the lack of any real testing by the EPA &/or the ethanol lobby. The bulk of the new cars on the road today are not designed to burn it effectively & our old cars accrue severe damage from the fuel's properties, even at a modest 10%, let alone 30%.
The EPA's love affair with ethanol totally baffles anybody in Engineering. The amount of energy (read that OIL) that is consumed in the manufacturing process to convert food into gasoline makes it a total "leaker deal" from a cost standpoint, let alone its overall pollution contribution. Factor in the damage done to the consumer & you get flabbergasted.
"E15 is the answer to the question nobody asked," said Mr. Woebkenberg, Sr Eng for Mercedes-Benz fuel policy in the United States & added that the EPA wants to "make the dog like the dog food."
For once, I agree with management.
