Gasohol

Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label gasoline
contaminated with alcohol?

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

I'm pretty sure Mass. is already there. I don't know if there's a minimum,
but we've got 10% ethanol everywhere now.

Same in CT.

I think most, if not all, of the Northeastern states sell the same
blend, no longer labeling the pumps for the 10% alchohol content.

And that means that all of us using gasohol are getting worse gas mileage than we would get with straight gasoline. If
the fuel is 10% ethanol that is 10% less gasoline being pumped while the price has gone up double in the last two years.
Energy bill of 2005, eh?????

The oil companies recently blamed the Bush Administration's emphasis on
converting to bio fuels as the cause for the price increase in gasoline.
Their statement: If they (bush) would support gasoline, then the oil
companies would spend money on additional refineries to meet the demand and
price could stay low. But with the emphasis on conversion to bio fuels and
alternative energy, the oil companies have no incentives to
rebuild/repair/build new refineries to meet the increasing consumption
demand.

So they say as they pocket record profits.

Got a cite for that? That's just one of the reasons I've seen them give,
amongst others are, botique fuels, world-wide demand, drillingand
exploration restrictions, capacity running near 100%...

BTW...do you know the difference between a "PROFIT" and a "Profit Margin"?

I have personally verified that to be true in my vehicles.

No big secret.

Don't be surprised to find that there's a lot of evaporation from the tanks,
either.

All of New England has 10% gasohol at the auto pump...
However, it isn't blended in until it gets to this regon... so many aero
clubs can still get batches of straight gas
