Ethanol laden gasoline has been here for years. Old news...
You are dead wrong as the percentage has been increasing over the past 5 years. The corn companies like ADM got their congressmen to write legislation that sets a fixed amount of subsidies for ethanol production and forced use by the gas companies to blend into their products sold at the pumps.
In recent years people have been driving less or buying more fuel efficient cars so the amount of gas being sold at the pumps has decreased but the same amount of ethanol is going in upstream. Not to hard to do the math but the percentage of ethanol has kept increasing and it damages car engines and is especially damaging to boat engines which have never been modified to handle ethanol.
Amazing that with the internet and other information sources that people choose to remain ignorant.
