As I said, I don't like the political side of this. But there are two sides to every story.
I really don't blanket statements of this mature, rarely are things that cut and dried.
I'd much rather support local farmers trying to keep their heads above water than big industry (foriegn and domestic) that are milking us for everything they can.
I too wish I had a 93 octane option, but we don't and you're right, my car runs like crap on 91 with nasty timing drops and reduced power. Wait a minute...I think I remember reading those exact claims by the petroleum and auto manufacturers industry in regards to ethanol.
I can see the auto industries point...they are having to meet tougher regulations for MPG and emissions and yet are being forced to run fuels with ethanol that are counter intuitive to reaching those goals. I get it, I just do not wish to trun a blind eye to either issue.
