Yep, it was another environmentalist experiment gone awry. They were finding it in Paugus bay. From what I understood it wouldn't completely burn in engines, on top of leaks and little spills it began showing up in water supplies. I remember when Clinton signed congress' bill into law requiring oil companies to start using increased levels in gas. He told us how much cleaner it would make the environment. I recall the oil companies not being too happy about having to do it. Now they, the oil companies, are being sued by the same government that required them to use it in the first place. There's a lot of junk science being peer reviewed and shoved down our throats. Some of it is right, most of it isn't. Mistakes like this cause us billions, not counting the dangers to lives and property.
