Default Fiscal Cliff bill

Among some of the crazy things attached to the Fiscal Cliff bill is a tax credit to gas stations to install E15 pumps and tanks to accelerate the use of E15 ethanol. Here is a link to a warning from AAA to motorists who did not purchase the flexfuel autos.

What is bad is that the govt. only test how E15 effect the evironment, not the caustic effect on autos.

My daughter's father-in-law bought one of the first flexfuel Chevy pickup. After using E85 the check engine light came on and for years never went off. Only the dealer will inspect it. (Mass.) he just recently move to NH and couldn't find someone to inspect it. Not even the NH Chevy dealers will touch it. Since it won't pass inspection, he cannot trade it in. He was told to trade in Florida where there are no inspection.
