Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. a new study suggest that corn-base ethanol is worst for climate than straight gasoline.

"The research, which was funded in part by the National Wildlife Federation and U.S. Department of Energy, found that ethanol is likely at least 24% more carbon-intensive than gasoline due to emissions resulting from land use changes to grow corn, along with processing and combustion."

Not only is it bad for the "climate" change but it's also bad for your engines too.

I never use 85 gas
Just the regular 87
I think they add 10% to the regular

In Wisconsin they have an 88. It’s cheaper than 87 but if you read the fine print it says up to 20% ethanol. We don’t have that in Cali.

Here's a photo I took when at an out of state E-85 gas station but of course, the idiot that doesn't get out much will say it's impossible for someone in California to get there  :idiot2: ;D:
