If EtOH is so great in gasoline, then...

Why not use a blend higher than 10-15%?

"Oh but they have E-85!"

Yeah but you have to buy a special car to run the garbage

Politicians need the donations they get from corn growers though, so sit down, shut up and accept it

Why not have options? I wouldn't run E85 in my engine, but I know a lot of guys that like it for its high octane rating.

Ethanol was mandated.

Right. You're wanting a higher blend for some reason. Why not have the 10-15% and E85?
