Yeah, it just doesn't make ANY sense why they are shoving that crap down our throats. Just the fact that an engine HAS to burn a richer mixture in it to get a balanced exhaust reading (meaning the oxygen sensors are detecting a corrected air/fuel ratio) should be clear enough evidence that a fast one is being pulled over on the American public. Basically every car on the streets that has not been specifically tuned for E10 gasoline has the fuel trims whacked out of kilter with the O2 sensors boosting a richer AFR simply to compensate for that stuff.
What the heck is being gained if adding 10 percent ethanol makes you use 10 percent MORE fuel while driving? The ethanol is just acting as wasted filler by volume in the gas tank. And to top that off, does using corn (a food product) to produce it really make any darn sense at all?
I sure would like to know who all made the pocketfuls of money off of this sleight of hand.
