Well, per my Ethanol thought...
Right now, in Michigan, Ethanol makes up 10% of the gasoline bought. It's considered an "additive".
Ethanol, for the uninformed, is a fuel made by grain or corn processing.
I believe that open wheel cars drive on an All-Ethanol fuel now because it burns cleaner and is safer and less explosive.
I just don't know why the government couldn't at least increase the amount of Ethanol in Gasoline in the short term to avoid the gas price hikes.
25% would help quite a bit.
It would be safer, burn cleaner, reduce the amount of oil needed from the Middle East and save us all money.
It would also help farmers by increasing the value of their crops.
It must make too much sense to be considered by the US Government. :headshake
