maybe you do not understand how unleaded gasoline works? We add ethanol to gasoline get unleaded to gasoline so we can avoid adding lead to it to prevent knocking of engines.
- freeone3000 4y agoBut why subsidize it? Especially if we're cutting subsidies to the rest of the fuel.
- sidewndr46 4y agoThis isn't really true. You can buy unleaded gasoline that is very high octane with no alcohol. We add alcohol because it is subsidized, so it is cheap.
- tadfisher 4y agoCorrection: we add ethanol to subsidize the corn industry. It is not cheaper to do so, it is mandated by law.
- sidewndr46 4y agoI know there are various statutes including a presidential EO recently directing the EPA to require the addition of ethanol. Does the actual regulation issued by the EPA require the addition of corn-derived ethanol? Or is just ethanol?
