Just Say No To E-15

EPA Pushes Onward
If you haven't bothered to take any notice, the price you pay for gasoline includes the additive "alcohol." Adding 10% alcohol is supposed to cut down on emissions and help save the planet. What environmentalists forget to mention is that alcohol is lower octane and does not have the same energy content per gallon as gasoline. The consequences are that it still costs $50-100 to fill up, you use leads "dirty gasoline," but you drive less miles because of the added alcohol blend. Alcohol reduces your mile per gallon significantly.

The latest brainstorm of the Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to increase the alcohol content per gallon from 10% to 15%. Once again, what the environmentalist forget to tell you is that alcohol in that concentration is highly corrosive on automobile fuel systems. Each car that runs on 15% alcohol should be retrofitted by each owner to enable the use of alcohol without destroying your car and causing expensive repairs. If untreated for running alcohol, you will erode your automobile engines!

Action To Take
Get your Congressional reps on board with stopping these new regulations. Suggest that Congress cut the EPA's annual budget to squeeze them back to a reasonable position. We cannot afford our cars to be destroyed by EPA regulations!
