    something about the fuel...

    while the video is right, some stations offer ethenol free gass in 93 only. ethenol free gas is much better for your car than ethenol gas.

    infact when nys mentioned increasing the ethenol content to 15% auto manufactuers, well just about every engine manufactuer out there, basically said 'you do that, we wont warranty engine problems going froward'

    I've been told by a few people do not put gas with ethenol in my old car. They said to put regular gas without ethenol. A few gas stations sell high octane no ethenol gas. Expensive though.

    ethanol is TERRIBLE for cars engines! all car engines, unless its flex fuel.

    ethanol eats rubber. also, cars are programmed to run/tuned to run gasoline. NOT ethanol gasoline. the difference is substantial.

    on my pick up truck, i get 13mpg all day long on ethanol gas.
    same truck, reset the computer, run pure gasoline.. 18mpg.

    same type of driving. yet per tank i get 90 miles MORE on non ethanol gas.

    People were sold on the bull**** idea that adding ethanol = less emissions, yet you must burn MORE to get the same distance. then they said, well we would lessen our dependance on foriegn oil...

    ROFL! The USA became in Oil Producing Exporting Country in 2011. The USA imports ZERO oil for domestic use. zero, not a drop! infact we export oil. the fact is, that while our refineries maybe at 95% capacity, thats because over 30% of our refining capacity is for exported products. we eith import the oil, refine it, export it, or we refine what we have and export it.

    I am not going to do YOUR research for you. get off your lazy ass and look it up. 2011 the United States stopped importing oil for domestic use.

    this idea that the middle east could cut off oil to the US and thus the US would be screwed, is total BS
