Is this ethanol stuff a white midwesterny thing

Its more prevalent here but apparently very prevalent in Florida as well.   I don't care about the E10 stuff,  it's so common.   Don't use E85 though, unless it's cheap enough to balance out the reduced mileage.

My vehicle gets 10 percent worse gas mileage.  YMMV.

E10 is completely safe, reduces emissions, is cheaper, and adds 2–3 octane to the blend.   Florida even mandates its use.   I'm not sure what then downside is...

Ethanol is a completely idiotic fuel source.

i'm all for finding creative ways to not burn fossil fuels.  not a big fan of seeing us sucking down our already overstressed aquifers to inefficiently grow a bunch of plants where they aren't supposed to grow.  ethanol is great if there happens to be some organic material we have that can be produced efficiently and not be a net drain, but corn in the US is not the same as sugarcane in brazil

Oh. My. God.

The emissions are only better at the vehicular level, not close if you include production. Also, as mentioned, it gets worse gas mileage. Also, it is really really awful.

Yes using it in your car has slightly lower emissions, is safe, and yes it is subsidized to the point that it is about the same cost as gasoline (also subsidized, I know), but the production of ethanol for this is a terrible misuse of resources.  None of the current research seems to support ethanol as a sustainable, reusable fuel.

Great.   You guys write your congressmen, call Al Gore, hug a tree,  whatever.   I'll just continue to fill my car with whatever comes out of the pumps at QT.   (Or whatever gas station.)

Still bummed that MHK doesn't have a QT. Guess I'm destined to that, while most of my fellow MHKers are bummed about no Red Lobster. Don't know what's worse.

Regardless of your feelings for Red Lobster, it would be a huge boon to recruiting. Not a joke.

Red lobster is the only restaurant to eff up the pre-meal bread, and that is why it sucks.

I love Red Lobster. It's not as good as other seafood places, but in Kansas, it's pretty much all you can hope for.

who gives a crap.

I have never once in my life contemplated ethanol content.

When you get the stuff that isn't 10% its noticeably different, much better mileage. Ethanol is a racket. In they call the cheap shitty ethanol "Super Unleaded" and its actually cheaper than regular unleaded. Some Casey's General Stores in Kansas also try to run this bullshit, Casey's in Maize comes to mind. All of the QTs in Kansas use the garbage 10%. If fairly certain the state incentives gas stations for selling shitty 10% ethanol.

i don't really know a lot about gas but I thought that QT has "Top Tier" rated gas, isn't that good?

Corn based Ethanol is idiotic. Start talking Ethanol made from switch grass and I will listen.
