Gas composition can vary quite drastically. I assume the research that has been done on this makes sure that they have consistent products. Was everything else consistent? Did you add or subtract weight from the vehicle? Speeds? Weather or temperature? <br /><br />Or maybe there's something goofy with your car. I believe that anecdotally this could happen from time to time, but what you're saying is not a claim that even the scientists opposed to ethanol production are claiming. That leads me to believe there's a factor that you've failed to realize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-19721408384085646402009-12-17T11:36:04.452-06:002009-12-17T11:36:04.452-06:00Anon.

Ethanol is better for the enviornment and helping the economy. It's sticking money right back intot he U.S. instead of shipping it overseas. Ethanol does provide a lot of good jobs in which we seem to have quite a shortage of right now. So for a few miles you would rather send your money overseas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
