08 Election and Ethanol

From the Appleton Post Crescent letters to the ethanol.
"Letters: Ethanol mandate hurting consumers

October 21, 2008 " Letters: Ethanol mandate hurting consumers | Postcrescent.com | Appleton Post-Crescent

Why are all the Fox Valley gas stations putting ethanol in their premium fuel?

The taxpayer is being ripped off by these distributors with higher fuel costs and now they're watering down the premium fuel we put in our cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers, etc.

Ethanol is detrimental to these engines. We can thank the Department of Agriculture, the farmers and our politicians for taking away our freedom of choice. With the economic conditions in this country now, the ethanol mandate and subsidy has got to stop. Write your congressman and senators.

Here, here Joe. I might not have a problem with some corn subsidy, sorry, can't say that! If ethanol is so good for gasoline then let ethanol stand by itself. If people want to buy ethanol filled gasoline, good. Let them make their own choice.

I would tell you of a major chain that sells real gasoline along side ethanol filled gasoline but I'm afraid word would spread to Madison and they would blackmail them into going 100% ethanol. You would not believe the better gas mileage I get with real 100% no ethanol gasoline. Also, you wouldn't believe how busy those stations are across Wisconsin. Oh, by the way, sorry won't tell you who they are. That reminds me I got to go to Fleet Farm this weekend.

We need no corn subsidies for ethanol producers or to farmers that sell to those producers. Corn is for food and not gasoline. Politicians , can you hear the voters, no mandates.

If our politicians don't understand no mandates then maybe we should vote someone else to office. What do we have to lose? Maybe no mandates on ethanol.

Every vote counts! Maybe not this election but it will catch up to them.
