Nothing good about Ethanol

The ethanol is blended with the gasoline right at the tanker truck.

I heard an interview on a financial show a few weeks back that had an
oil company executive telling a completely different story. He
explained that plants and storage facilities needed certain parts and
seals changed to switch from MTBE laced gas to a gas / alcohol blend.

Which explains why the blending is done at the truck instead of the
plant.

Could this be a regional thing?

You think it could take a while to shut down a plant and do the
conversions required?

The whole point of the comment was that they DID spent a lot of time
with plants shut down. According to this guy, it's a done deal.
