Here are just some of the lies that are being told... The problem is that when the majority of stations are selling Kevin Stork, team leader for fuels technologies at the U.S. Department of Energy, said that “Ethanol is now significantly cheaper than petroleum, so cheap that some facilities cannot make money on it.” and Jim Smith, chief executive officer of the 5,600-member Florida Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association in Tallahassee said that "Motorists should find E10 is four to nine cents less a gallon than straight gasoline." The problem is that when “Virtually all the marketers in Florida are moving toward 10 percent ethanol blends as rapidly as they are able,” as Matt Hartwig, spokesman for the Renewable Fuels Association in Washington, D.C., says there's no way to compare the prices of straight gasoline and E10. Additionally, Stork admits that "E10 is not as fuel-efficient as 100 percent gasoline" but claims that "the 2 percent to 3 percent difference is not enough to be noticeable." I don't know about you but when you're getting slammed at every corner (higher gas prices, higher food prices, etc. and no increase in salary), I don't need a decrease in performance of 2%-3% on anything!

By adding alcohol to gasoline it lowers the octane and reduces fuel mileage. On both my car and truck I have lost 3 to 4 mpg.
