Gasoline with 10% to 15% Ethanol is harmful to small engines i.e. lawn mowers. For some reason, it is more expensive (remember un-leaded gasoline). It can be harmful to motor vehicles too. Ethanol, added to gasoline, is just another Federally Funded program for farmers to get rid of corn if I'm not mistaken. The only reason gasoline prices are dropping, as one said, is the upcoming elections and for US to start providing our own energy such as fracking, Canadian oil sands etc. One would think that we would not like being held hostage to Middle East countries for their oil. I do not believe that the internal combustion engine will be gone in ours or our children's lifetime.
