Adding 10% ethanol will drop your MPG by no less than 20%. While you pay the same at the pump, you have to buy more fuel because of ethanol. What a sweet scam.
Then there is the issue of all the damage to multiple engine parts. Nobody ever talks about how ethanol, even in small amounts, will eventually cause damage to your car .....
The newest government guidelines on biofuel could lead to more corn being processed into ethanol. The EPA says even if you account for all the fertilizer and processing energy, burning biofuel is better for the environment than fossil fuel.
Corn Belt pols will love this, environmental groups are attacking it as a sell-out to those states, and the battles will continue. Many critics have claimed that food crops should not be used for making fuel. Of course, the oil industry is NOT pleased with the EPA’s findings either. The EPA now says using more biofuel will help the U.S. cut its greenhouse gas emissions.
