Drivers Mixing Ethanol with Regular Gas to Save Some $$$

drivers in the midwest have started blending ethanol with regular gas to save at the pumps, since ethanol, in someplaces, is almost a dollar cheaper! and i dont blame them at all! i would so do that even though the EPA and auto manufacturers warn against it but you know what, times are hard! and the studies that they've done at Minnesota State University say that so far, they dont see any signs of damage. actually, they found that you get BETTER mileage from blending the two!

in my opinion, i've always thought that the auto manufacturers are in cahoots with the oil company and that's why they are saying it will damage your car. that's also why its taken them so long to come out with alternative fuel source cars. and what alternative fuel source cars we do have, are still dependent on gas when they don't need to be! they have the technology to make cars that dont require any gas at all but then they would be biting the hand that feeds them. it really makes me sick how people are scraping together every penny they have to get to where they need to go when they shouldn't have to. especially since last year the oil industry had the highest profits that have ever been recorded in history! companies will do whatever they have to to turn a profit, even if it includes stepping on the backs of the working class to get there....but then again, that is the american dream...
