I read all this stuff about gas with ethanol added and all I can think is "Thank god we don't have to put up with that shit here".



Yes, at least you have that.  Good to see you around!
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.

Your sig line -- whatever the hell that is -- sucks donkey balls, but it's good to see you drop in about once every 6 months or so. You're our token Canuck.  :-)

Uh....Canada's ranked only 12th in the world for corn production. You guys are doing the smart thing -- feeding your cattle with it, rather than using a helluva lot of energy to convert it to....energy.

There's a lot of money to be made in corn if you're in the American government.  :whatever:

Looks like the zipper on a  queers pants to me.

What about portable gas cans?  All of mine are 1-2 gallons.  Am I supposed to buy new ones?

I typically fill mine up when I fill up the Jeep.

But E15?  Oh, God, this is going to be a disaster for older vehicles (read: pretty much anything not E85/Flex Fuel.)

Just part of Obama's plan to stimulate the economy and get people to buy new cars.  Use the EPA to destroy the engines in their old one and they have to buy a new one.

Under normal circumstances I would say that you are crazy for thinking that, but this being the 0bama administration you may be 100% accurate.  :banghead:
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I've said it once & I will say it again.

Back in the 90's even left wing publications were calling ethanol a scam.

It's still a scam.

There is also no fuel tax on ethanol. So now 15% of your purchase at the pump won't be taxed, so they will just raise the tax.

What about the family strapped for cash waiting on pay day and they only have $12 till Friday?  :censored:

This shit pisses me off.

While Obama destroys Grandma's Medicare he might as well make her buy a new car while he's at it to help the UAW.  :bird:
