- sokoloff 5y agoBottom of page 2 suggests that’s not the case: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/edg/news/archives/documents/Myths_and_Facts.pdf https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/edg/news/archives/do... As someone who has changed or disassembled and cleaned many a carb from crappy ethanol-polluted gasoline, I’m not pro-ethanol, but I think there’s a slice of science in favor of it on lifecycle emissions basis.
