2015. Still forced to buy ethanol in order to purchase gasoline. Still one of the most egregious examples of subsidizing an industry.

I use starbrite or marine grade stabil to take the ethanol out of my gas.Works wonders,have not had to replace gas lines or rebuild carbs since.

Talk to your auto mechanic, I did and everyone in the shop drives way out of his way to buy non ethanol gas for their own cars. They see what it does to cars. Ed

I buy pure gas when I can too. This is a good short description WHY we have ethanol vs the now illegal and cancer causing MTBE additives.

I envy you guys who can buy gas. Around here there is no option at all except 10% ethanol. Other than the gas mileage reduction, I can't say I've had a real problem, but I now run a Sta-bil mix in all my small engines all the time, just so I don't have to drain them for storage.

That's what i see is the problem. It is being rammed down our throats. As far as the assertion that it is a "state" thing, go back to D.C. and see what deals are made with all the cronies down there. Then your senators and congressman come back to the local legislature and tell them how to run the states business as it applies to who is doing favors for who down there in Washington. Proof? Why does an open space such as Maine need any oxygenator at all? Look at the politics of Maine and you'll get your answer.
Don't forget, the government still gives the green light to dumping industrial by -product (fluoride) in all of our water reservoirs even though there is plenty of natural fluoride within the water itself along with fluoride in tooth paste, and in vitamins, and in dental treatments and in fluoride specific supplements and yet, the government cares so much about you that it thinks it still needs to mass medicate the public with no choice. They are doing the same thing with ethanol. It's about whose greasing who's palm down there in Dizzy World.
