FYI:
Corn ethanol was first introduced in gasoline about 1933.
At the Marathon station in TV you often see antique cars filling their tanks with "non-eth" gas because the ethanol eats at the seals and valves in older cars and forms sludge in carburetors.
Other countries around the world have jumped up to 25% ethanol from sugar cane.
E85 is mostly ethanol, only 15% gasoline.
The ethanol industry says it reduces harmful tailpipe emissions like carbon monoxide but doesn't mention that it produces MORE formaldehyde AND ozone in the air. Farmers are all for ethanol added to gas so they can get more for their crop when demand increases.
Ethanol is a very controversial subject and "non-eth" gas should actually be only slightly more expensive than 10% ethanol gas.
