as long as you don't FORCE ME TO BUY IT like they are doing with E10 I could really care less. if you can make a car run good on it great. just don't expect me to go buy one or try and FORCE me to go buy one.

"Nerys You do not need to buy a new car just to be able to use ethanol"

Did you miss my entire point?

10 gallons E10 460 miles
9 gallons of E0 495 miles (35 miles FURTHER)

so if I take 10 gallons of gas from the gas station. Mix it with water to REMOVE the gallon of ethanol from it and then put the resulting 9 gallons into my car (essentially THROWING AWAY the ethanol) I can go FURTHER.

This is now about CAN I its about I do not WANT TO because for our cars its a SUCKY fuel that is dirtier wasteful more expensive and INCREASES out demand for foreign oil the exact OPPOSITE of its intended purpose.
