Last year the prices were horrible (half of the year before) and the guru's predict corn prices to remain low for the next 3+ years. So don't blame corn prices for higher meat and food prices. <br /><br />Ethanol does boost octane, the refiners are using lower grade gasoline <85 octane and blending in ethanol to meet the standard 87.

If your car is designed to run on it, fine. Perhaps it will be a little cheaper at the pump. But I don't want it to be a universal "filler", degrading the relative quality of the fuel overall, especially for those cars not designed for it. Not all hoses and gaskets are tested compatible with ethanol mixed fuels.<br /><br />I particularly avoid pumps with ethanol added, because I'm already using an aftermarket alcohol injection system, so the last thing I want is a higher alcohol ratio. Once my turbochargers boost level passes 12psi, a solenoid sprays a shot of alcohol into the motor, giving it a temporary octane boost to prevent detonation (engine knock) under higher boost. <br /><br />If it already has alcohol in the fuel, that isn't going to be healthy for my engine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-3097718262907395132015-03-10T16:20:14.517-04:002015-03-10T16:20:14.517-04:00How many senators and congressmen are receiving fa...How many senators and congressmen are receiving farm subsidies for corn?
