Ethyl Corporation wanted to introduce HI-TECH 2000 Manganese component additive for fuel but no studies were ever conducted by the government. Why? The bulging pockets of legislators "lubricated" by Archer Daniels Midland and the corn lobby were so huge it did not allow Ethyl Corporation to get within earshot.
