Ethanol subsidies continue
« on: June 16, 2011, 08:58:10 PM »
John McCain just lost his bill proposal to end government ethanol subsidies to the tune of 20 Billion of our money.  And the beat goes on.. :banghead:

Gasahol is still mandated, but subsidies to ETOH producers may end.

Hopefully this will quell any more talking of e-15 or e-20.  I wish we could get nonethanol gas in IL.

At least dad sold his corn at $7.90..........

get rid of all of it, we can still get 86 octane pure gas, but cost 4.25 a gallon, Connie runs better than super 93 with 10 percent octane...  Ethanol stinks, what was Bush thinking..?????  And why can they not repeal this crap....

Well because the other side now has control and wants it to roll on.....  If I ruled the world......  Well it would be a better place at least for me...  lol

 But this too shall pass, As my grandma and grandpa said.. 

Ride safe everyone...
Ride on...
