I should elaborate a little more. A little research indicates that
there are many problems with ethanol.

Oh, *research*??? Is that where we're going now? O.k., so you're
familiar with these folks, right?

Rubber hoses in recent models of cars have been made more resistant to
ethanol. The vast majority of airplanes, however, were built before
1987.

Like the Cessna 180/182?

I was able to turn up several papers documenting that ethanol was
corrosive to aluminum, at the very lest.

Piper Owner Society:

Tests have shown there is no problem with AGE-85 and aluminum.
In fact, it seems to cause less corrosion than avgas. Virtually
all polymers used in aircraft made in the last decade are
alcohol compatible.



One of the problems that recent society seems to have developed, is the
politicization of science. No one believes "the other side" anymore. No
one will even *read* the other side of the argument.

Also, the belief that the only people who can be trusted are you and me (and
I'm not so sure about you). If somebody else is doing it, (such as Brazil)
it can't possibly be any good.

There was a time where science was independent, and above all that. If we
don't get back to that state soon, every chance of progress will be scuttled
by one more OWT masquerading as scientific fact.
