Because the Biden junta is pushing their radical eco-freak ideology through the EPA now.
Last Friday the Biden administration raised the mandatory amount of biofuel, specifically ethanol, that must be blended within the U.S. gasoline supply. The previous amount of 10% (summer blend) was raised to a year-round 15% (waiver) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is likely to lead to two sets of bigger issues, less food and higher gas prices.
Look, gasoline engines are designed to run on GASOLINE, not alcohol. You add too much alcohol and you're going to start blowing seals and gaskets and other important things that your engines need. You're going to see the fuel system start to corrode, or get filled with brown glop as the alcohol starts to hold on to water, or coat your fuel system with varnish.
And that doesn't even begin to address the problem that you cannot get the energy OUT of ethanol that you used to create it. So for every gallon of ethanol, you have to burn MORE than a gallon of oil to produce it. So where's the benefit? It doesn't exist, except for the politicians and the people who trade them.
And of course this is being done through dictatorial fiat via the EPA. Every three letter agency in D.C. needs to be nuked.
The fuel economy of ethanol laced gasoline is much worse than pure gasoline. Regardless of the supposed advantages, physics wins, and the amount of energy to propel a vehicle over a given distance never changes. Less fuel mileage, more fuel, and the cycle of insanity continues.
ReplyDeleteHell Dave the entirety of DC needs to be nuked along with all the bottom dwellers.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that is a pie in the sky dream but, Pootie has these same thoughts and if Bidet keeps pushing his buttons, Poot will push a few of his own and BOOM! No more Bidet or any of us.
It's nothing compared to refiners shutting down plants because it's too expensive to adhere to the EPA's ever changing standards.
