Wet Bowl or Dry Bowl?

REAL water!
Three bucks a gallon. I can see it now. From orange juice to coffee, avocados, antifreeze I have seen markets cornered by speculators. Funny huh? Twenty bucks a gallon for antifreeze when the normal price was three. Oranges a buck a pound from 12-cents a pound. Wanna rebuilt alternator? Want an in-between sitting on his lard ass doubling the price?
Corn ain't environmentally friendly. Lots of fertilizer and lots of insecticide. For the 50th time I yell TRY the AND FIND A SINGLE GOVERMENT DOCUMENT THAT LISTS ALL THE DANGEROUS EMISSIONS that combusting alcohol creates. Some will argue this point. They need to go to an alcohol fuel sprint car race and breathe deeeeeep. Downtown Sao Paulo burned my eyes and throat.
How much fuel economy does E15 cost? When I put 13.2 gallons of Chevron in my toad in San Diego the car proceeded to deliver the WORST fuel economy by far I have gotten in 80, 000 miles. Flat road, little traffic and no wind. Economy dumped from an average 25.2 MPG to 19.3 the first tank of Real gas I purchased in Mexico restored mileage to the mid-twenties. Power was restored. I donated a few bucks to some fat cat ethanol speculator for the privilege of wearing a Dunce Hat.
Gasoline + ethanol makes an evil mix. The presence of ethanol actually absorbes humidity out of the air and puts it into solution. Gasoline. This is elementary chemistry and before piping up with "Muh car's fuel system is sealed" muse the fact that refinery storage tanks, tanker transport vehicles and gas station tanks aren't sealed. I PROVED THIS with my digital lab scale in Las Penas. I added two cans of HEET to 2-gallons of Pemex Premium in a gas jug with no cap. After three weeks the fuel weight gained almost an ounce (26 grams). Maybe it used too much cream and butter. Neat huh?
