I am strongly against mandating the use of a fuel source (corn) that puts our national food supply in jeopardy.

I am strongly against mandating the use of a fuel that takes more energy to manufacture, and that reduces the fuel efficiency of vehicles.

Are you running? I will vote for you!

Two days ago I contacted the campaign offices of both Hodes and Ayotte and requested what the candidates positions are regarding E-15 and B2/B3. So far I have not received an answer. Granted, this is not something that I believe is voted on by Congress but it sure is another example of Washington dictating rules that are against the public interest. In this case it tells us how beholden our politicians, especially those from the corn growing states, are to special interests.

Anybody like those new EPA gas cans that take forever to pour. Who will step up and protect the taxpayers from the bureaucrats who "know better"?

The polls are most likely busy researching what E-15 is! Hence no response - so typical of the elected body these days.

Who will protect us? Only us. If you don't like what you see then vote them out. It is our only recourse as citizens of what used to be a great nation. Unless you want to take a page out of our fore fathers book and start an old fashion revolution. But I doubt that will/could happen today with the dumbed down/sissy general populace the got us here in the first place. And yes we all played a role in that even if by simply not taking more interest in the electorate process over the last decade or two.

lol thanks, but no. I wouldn't ever even consider it. Too many skeletons in my closet that would surely be uncovered by my opponent!

Since the use of E15 is not mandatory everyone gets to vote on the issue with their wallet. Who is going to try sell a product that nobody will buy?

for the near future I don't see it as a big problem. If a gas station owner has to choose between a product people will buy and one his or her customers won't well common sense tells what the decision will be. Because they's need land,EPA approval in order to add storage tanks and pumps in order to sell both E-10 and E-15 In my opinion it'll be a little while before it becomes the only fuel choice. I agree that selling or buying fuel that will cause an increase in our overall food cost is not the answer. I remember the thread where it was discussed going from E-85 to E-10 caused problems with the vehicles opereation just think of what it is going to do to pre 2000 model year vehicles. Again JMHO.
