Ethanol in gasoline is one of the biggest boondoggles of our time.  It wastes farm resources for food and actually DECREASES fuel efficiency.  We had one gas station left with regular gas…no ethanol and a tank of that took us twice as far as the ethanol stuff.  It’s a failure on many levels and should be discontinued immediately.  The time is NOW for farmers to grow food for humans and animal resources and get out of the fuel business.  This will support our ailing economy and would be an immediate first step that this Congress/Administration could do ASAP!

 

Senate panel to put ethanol under the microscope

The Hill – The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s agenda this year includes new scrutiny of ethanol.

A spokesperson for committee Democrats said a hearing is in the offing but hasn’t been scheduled yet. Whenever it occurs, the session will highlight the ongoing Capitol Hill battle over the renewable fuel.

Ethanol is already under attack from interests ranging from environmentalists to food industry groups to oil refiners, as well as a left-right coalition of lawmakers seeking to strip tax subsidies. Opponents of expanded ethanol use include Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the Environment and Public Works Committee’s top Republican.

      I bought a diesel truck knowing I would get better fuel milage and the engine would last longer. I pull a fifth wheel when camping with the family and on vacations also a large utility trailer for pulling heavy loads like firewood etc. At the time diesel fuel didn’t cost as much as regular gasoline.

                NOW DIESEL FUEL COST’S MORE THAN REGULAR GASOLINE     SOME PLACES 30 CENTS MORE

      Here is the clincher, as a lot of people know      IT  COST’S LESS TO REFINE DIESEL FUEL THAN IT DOES REGULAR GASOLINE.     so why are the owners of small trucks being charged more? I can understand charging the tractor and trailer rigs more. They haul goods across america and can pass the extra cost on to the consumer but the small truck owner doesn’t have this advantage. We are really getting ripped off by the people that push for higher stock prices and our own government through higher taxes that it brings in to buy  foreign countries loyalities. And by the oil companies that use any excuse to raise the cost of fuel.  I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A ONE DAY A WEEK WHERE DIESEL TRUCK OWNERS ACROSS AMERICA  DIDN’T DRIVE. AND IF THERE COULD BE TWO DAYS THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.   I  WONDER WHAT KIND OF RESULTS THIS WOULD BRING.  I CAN UNDERSTAND IF SOME OWNERS CAN’T BECAUSE THEY USE THEM FOR WORK.

It is in your country and mine defamation fuel suppliers? Insurance agent car was vague when asked about this issue and, if so, automobile insurance sales amount for the legitimate request of the UN and the UN need to buy. The difference between the state due to say? In Texas, by fuel suppliers to ensure that every client, where you buy gas, and consumers to know? If you notice, you must perform a proof of insurance, gasoline receipts to prove? I thank all those in Texas, fuel suppliers also have insurance for all their customers. Gary Leva Siqiaozhidun, Texas
