It may run cleaner but your vehicle better be set up for Ethanol use or you will be shopping for a new car/truck before you know it.

I own an 86 GMC and Ethanol will kill it from the inside out real fast, as the poster two posts above stated it jams up your carbs, valves, and whatever else it can ruin.

Not to mention a can of corn now costs more here than a litre of gas in Ontario.........Yeah praise the Ethenol.

I can also remember when they added methanol to our fuel, and I had a bunch of friends that were claiming they were coming up with some type of sludge build up in the crank case.

Ethanol failed because it was not sustainable and relied on corn subsidies given to farmer in the US. Ethanol is still viable in nations like Brazil because of sugar cane production and other byproducts even so it helps the increase in food prices.

In the US there is also the issue of feeding corn to livestock, that is not healthy to the animals and to the final consumer. Btw did you know that cows are given orange peals also ? The most sickening thing I have seen is a cow with a hole in the side to access its stomaches, I'm no vegan but I wouldn't touch meat if I liven in the US between feeding GMO foods to the animals the dose of antibiotics and hormones and this sickening methods for fattening the animals, I would be hard pressed to find proper food.

In Brazil the meat production has other problems, social (land ownership battles) and deforestation, but the quality does not compare, ultimately US levels consumption of meat and animal products is not sustainable in the long run, and also not very healthy, moderation and diversity is and always will be saner and better for the environment...

If you haven't look up the documentary Food Inc. and revisit the great movie Soylent Green and look to the reality around you... Especially the condition of the Oceans and the ecosystems...
