Will a mix of corn-based ethanol and gasoline successfully help to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and lower prices for drivers? Clean Skies News' Dan Goldstein looks at the future of the industry and the debate on what an increase in ethanol could mean for car engines and food prices.
Fact: Ethanol will not corrode. Since 1983 fuel lines, tanks, pump, ect. are ethanol tollerant. I've ran 20%-45% blend in my 05 silveraldo for 2 years with no problems whatsoever. I now have a conversion kit on it and it runs very smooth on E85. This corrosion myth is oil company propaganda. Read "DAVID BLUME'S ALCOHOL CAN BE A GAS". Beside The University of Minnesota did a 2 year study on 20% and 30% blends in non-flexfuel automobiles and found no problems. The study's have already been done.

I have a 2007 Jet ski i run 30% Ethanol in with no problems at all I also run a 50%blend in my car. i have been using ethanol for years, and plan to convert my car. I cant understand why EPA is dragging their feet. Look at the big steps Brazil has taken with Ethanol. I think their regular gas has 20% ethanol in it and EPA is stalling on a15% decision. that is messed up. In my mind we have to get serious about getting off of oil and quit stalling. I believe in Peak Oil. that's why i am switching.
