Default Is EAA Working on an STC for Ethanol-laced MoGas?

The other issue that ETOH enthusiasts seem to never see is that it
takes more petroleum BTU's to produce a gallon of ethanol than you get
back when when you burn the ethanol in an engine... So it is a
lose-lose situation...


That's what is SO frustrating. Right now our Iowa Legislature is
considering mandating ethanol in all gas. It is SO dumb, yet -- especially
here in corn country -- it holds an almost unstoppable attraction for many.
