This has done nothing but make prices for corn in all foods to go up. Now we have to add an additive to our gas for outboard motors. [crazy] Time to end this program.

I started using Ethanol free gas, about a year ago, when I noticed my outboard was spitting and sputtering after sitting all Winter. It cost a few cents more but it is 88 octane, so thats good and well worth it considering I no longer have the problems I was having before. The government wants to control all parts of our lives and this is just another example of why it is bad[mad].

well when gas was $4 a gallon, it probably sounded like a great idea . . unintended consequences
Youre completely wrong in saying "Too bad they can't stay out of things they have no business tinkering in"
this is exactly what the government should be tinkering in - the idea that 'the free market' actually exists outside of some economics text is nutso - the economy is a carefully crafted dynamic that is created by government and depends on regulation to exist and survive.
the problem with our economy today is the ultra rich have increased their share of the wealth exponentially, while working peoples share has decreased for the last 35 years!
