it’s almost as if they’re in a different business…
How much are we talking about? Too much ethanol in gasoline fucks shit up. They want everyone to ruin their cars to cover for Trump being goaded into a ridiculously stupid war?
We are already adding pretty much the Maximum ethanol you can without causing long term damage to everything you put it in
„Feds say cutting bread with sawdust will bring down grain costs, ‚the poors can’t even taste the difference'“
It’s a scam! Cheaper fuel and less mileage also bad for the engine!
Lmao, absolutely hilarious watching the orange rapist/traitor/felon constantly in a panic of his own making. Keep it coming…hopefully the increased stress is speeding up biology.

You burn more. You might get the same amount. But you’ll get less MPG.
Ethanol-blended fuel (E10-E15) can damage engines, particularly older ones or small equipment, by attracting water (hygroscopic) and acting as a solvent. This leads to corrosion, degradation of rubber/plastic parts, fuel system blockages, and phase separation, where water-ethanol mixtures sink to the bottom of the tank, causing poor performance and potential engine failure.
Just like the rest of life. Just cause something is cheaper, doesn’t mean it costs less.
It’s terrible for your engine. This is so fucking stupid.
prices wont go down, they will dilute the fuel with ethanol and collect profit on the saved gas. The elite at it making money anywhere they can.
The Russians have been mixing their fuel due to a shortage and it screwed up a ton of engines.
No idea why the US would consider doing a poor -mans bandaid fix
Can add some timing for some sweet gains on the dyno lol
While adding more ethanol to gas will help extend domestic fuel supplies, ultimately we will just use more as E15 fuel has lower MPG’s.
This cant last very long as ethanol production in the US is not ready to sustain higher production that can offset the amount of oil not coming out the middle east now that trump has shit on everything with no reasonable exit plan to begin with.
Also, the need for higher ethanol production will take cheap corn out of the mouths of hungry cattle when ethanol producers start paying more for it.
Higher feed prices = higher meat prices.
Trumps shitty diaper continues to flow downhill.
I just pour water in my tank to stretch out my gas
Ethanol is fine as long as your car is prepared for that. I’ve been running my car on ethanol only for years. If the compression and the injection are right, you’ll be fine.
That said, mixing ethanol in gasoline and charging the same price as pure gasoline, that sucks.
If the feds are saying it in 2026, it’s fucking false.
Sure, we’ll end up saving a couple bucks on one receipt, but we’re gonna blow through that gas quicker – causing us to fill more frequently, thus giving these criminals even more money.
Never forget – they give ZERO fucks about us. ZERO.
Ethanol is a gigantic grift. Let’s take food and turn it into fuel. It only exists becaus of huge handouts. So guess what you don’t pay at the pump instead you pay the tax man. Or the debt.
Sigh, ffs, we’ve had this debate and settled the issue decades ago.
Not good. Subaru recommends a max of 10% for my Crosstrek. This may invalidate warranty.
gonna ruin engines not meant for it especially fuel lines
I can’t believe it’s not gasoline!
: midwestern side eye :
Their solution to make gas cheaper is to water it down?
This just in, cutting drinking water with piss helps extend total amount of water, more at 11.
The motherfuckers have never been into the speed scene.
Burning alcohol takes twice the fuel flow. Cost per gallon may or may not be lower, but it requires twice the fuel
Flow in equipment and costs.
It’s only feasible if HEAVILY subsidized by the US government, but that only taxes everyone to pay for a market no one wanted or asked for (except the farmers and refiners).
Brings back nightmares for me. I had to debate in front of my college class that more ethanol in fuel was a good thing. Well, it very evidently is not, and I got absolutely torched in front of 60+ people.
Another lie from trumpy
Just like the Bush years in Iraq.
Won’t work!
This administration is desperate!
This literally already happens to the extent vehicles are built for it and can actually run off from it.
You literally can’t make cars work well on more ethanol unless they were explicitly configured for it.
It’ll put more money into the corn farms that are used to make ethanol. You know, mega-farm-corps. Thats why they are doing it.
It’s all a grift.
When you look at everything this administration does, its all to make wealthy people more wealthy. Every. Single. Thing.
Right, cut it with Ethanol. Good thing we don’t need fertilizer or diesel fuel to grow and harvest that corn that we turn into Ethanol.
Trump and co always making things cheap and I don’t mean prices
I and others say, start taxing the billionaires and stop subsidizing the gas and oil industry…
How much is the corn going to cost with higher fuel and fertilizer prices
Fuckkkk. They’re going to do this. The maga idiots are going to believe they’re getting a better deal and prices are down. When in reality the only thing that’s down is the mileage and life expectancy of the car. Fml
Cutting fuel with more ethanol will fuck shit up in cars not designed to take higher levels of ethanol
Sure. Let’s all trust them NOW.
And why wasn’t this step one to reduce gas prices a year ago? Unless they’re in full-blown panic mode which is what pushing for it now signifies.
Trump told everyone 3 months ago his whole plan to divert attention from him and Epstein and start a war on the other side of the planet, right?
Huh, wonder why he never laid out his plan.
