EVERYONE concerned, except the ethanol producers themselves and the idiots at the EPA that want the renewable fuels thing to continue at ANY cost, realizes that it's a complete failure. Corn is one of the most difficult feedstocks for use in ethanol production, and it actually costs more energy to produce corn ethanol than the product yields in the fuel stream. (That's why American ethanol production, which is 90+% corn-based is protected by tariffs from foreign competition, mainly from sugar-cane and switchgrass-based ethanol, which can be produced and delivered at a fraction of the price.)

Yes, both parties are to blame. There needs to be an education effort so that at least one side will realize that it's time to shitcan the Renewable Fuels Standard.
I don't know if the RINO realize they were party to the plot to kill our energy production, but forcing ethanol on the US is a huge part of increasing the cost of energy in the country, the leftists planned it that way.
My guess is the RINO simply don't give a damn as long as it helps lock their power in place.

The GOP believes politics runs a cycle and party's trade places in power, as part of the power scheme, what they don't seem to understand is they are losing the equilibrium of balance in the cycle and will soon have to move further left to stay viable.

This is where the threat of the Tea movement enters the equation, a factor they had never even considered, one that threatens their very purpose in the country.
The war is on and 2014 will be the deciding factor to their viability, and when they see how the country pushed socialism off the cliff and most of the RINO with them, only then will they realize just how poorly they read the people of this Nation.

Or just how well.

We must not, can not, underestimate the power of the LIV. Combined with low Pub turnout, the LIV is what put the Kenyan in office last year. We can never forget that there are actually people out there who will literally sell their vote for $70 on an EBT card or a "free" $29 cellphone.

Not the mid terms it wasn't, the base turned out in force, which is why the left more than 600 seats from mayoral etc. Nationwide.
You can expect an even better turnout in 2014.

So Boo, what did you end up doing?

You can get ethonal free gas, you just have to shop around.  It cost a bit more but it is around.  Also use I use  STA BIL fuel stabilizer year around for trouble free gas year around.   Also E15 (15% ethanol, 85% gasoline) is out now in some areas, so look out for it.   



pure-gas.org is a list of ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada.

I have three, all under 3 years old, the gas engine one became such a headache to maintain that we got an electric, but it was too underpowered, so we got a big one.
Now, it may not have the power of a gas engine, but it still does a pretty good job and it can run for about three or more hours on a charge, and there is nothing to maintain, it kicks right up in the spring.

I have not had problems with gas engines after I started using STA BIL fuel stabilizer.  For the cost you just cant beat it, I use it in everything.   My small gas engines and generators are over 10 years old.

I use it too, but you still have to drain the gas, change oil, clean the filter, but with an electric, you just park it and forget it.

My main chainsaw is a Homelite XL-12, made around 50 years ago. Best gas-powered tool I ever owned. Ol' Blue gets a steady diet of zero-ethanol gas and the best quality two-cycle oil. If she's gonna be sitting for a while, I simply let her sit on the ground and idle until the tank is empty. In four years, I've been through the carb only once, and that's AMAZING for a two-cycle tool, especially a chainsaw!

Anyone want to buy a slightly used mower in mint condition that occasionally works?
