Default Removing Ethanol from Gas?

The best way to remove ethanol from gas is for us to affect legislation
that would otherwise mandate ethanol in all gasoline, even that used
for off-road use. Most congress people are completely unaware that auto
fuel is used successfully by a large number of aircraft owners and that
ethanol poses a significant safety risk. There are some very powerful
lobbying forces behind the new mandates. It's important that we be
heard, i.e., we participate. Boaters are also affected by ethanol
mandates so it may be helpful to join forces with that community.

You've summed it up rather well.
The problem appears to be entirely one of mandates, and the solution is to
remove the mandates.


I'd bet that 99.9% of Congress even knows it is an issue. The AOPA and EAA
better get a letter writing campaign going. It is a lot easier to stop
mandates before they are in place than it is to get one removed.
