I just got back from an Orlando vacation.

The whole county is now serving 10% or less ethanol gasoline.

The following was taken from an article in the Orlando Sentinel, May 7 2008. Business section by Beth Kassab

You cannot use this gasoline in boats because it causes the glue in the fiberglass to melt and the fuel filters will clog up with fiberglass.

It cannot be used in old collector cars.

It cannot be used in off-road vehicles

It cannot be used in motorcycles.

It cannot be used in small engines like lawnmower engines, gas powered weed wackers.

Some manufactures warranty are voided it you use it.

The reason is the gas runs hotter. Attract moisture, damage carburetors and other components if left in the tank during storage. Think emergency generators.

The only place she found to get non ethanol gas was a station in Mt. Dora and they said that they did no know how much longer they can get it.

In my opinion this gas will wear out your engine faster no matter if it is aluminum or cast iron.

We are going to have to change our boat gas tanks to aluminum.  

We are using up the corn that should be going to the food chain for our meat animals, and my favorite corn on the cob. This raises prices on all parts of the food chain.

I think back to the freon 12 debate. After going from $3.00 a lb to $60.00 they found out years later that it really did not add that much to the ozone layer.

 Now my question is, can we get the elected officals to rethink this madness before the end of 2010 when all of Florida has to be on the ethanol boondoggle.

This blend has not been researched enough. This is another of the oh oh oh we need to go green now, no matter what it hurts.
