2012 Fuel Costs

MAXUM · 03-12-2012, 03:39 PM

Not only are gas prices on the rise, but pay very close attention to what's going on in regards to upping the ethanol content in gas to 15%. Not only is Ethanol bad for any internal combustion engine, but the stuff can't be produced without significant government subsidies so that adds to the price of gas production and indirectly the cost at the pump. Such past success apparently needs to be rewarded by upping the content. That's nanny state brilliance at it's finest.
