One of the causes of the recent gasoline shortages was the recent conversion of the gas formulation from MBTG (?) to adding ethanol. One commentator on our local news said that this should not be a p

You can't buy gas in Colorado without it. I have been using it in everything for 8+ years with no problems of any kind. Larry Hoy probably has a longer history of it. (He has a longer history of ever

That's very true. It makes them hard and brittle. We had that problem with boats in the early 80's. Later fuel lines are formulated to withstand the ethanol. Cheers, Dave -- -- Sure, "Scrum" is a wei

I think that is MTBF. What state are you in? I believe only CA was using that, but most states have been using some amount of ethanol for quite some time, due to successful lobbying by the corn inter

Actually its MTBE. A number of states used it. As far as running ethanol in our Bs, there is no problem using it. Gasohol has been available in the midwest since the 70s. I used to burn it all the ti

Hi Bob, The MG engines will run fine with the ethanol. It has high anti-knock qualities, though there is less energy in a pound of the stuff than there is in real gasoline. So you trade off cooler-bu

Sorry, that didn't come out right. I certainly wasn't defending MTBE -- it's a carcinogen, and the feds rammed it down Californian's throats: "Oh, you want cleaner air? You gotta take this crap". I u

As I said, other crops may be more efficient. I think you will find differing analyses of the corn-to-ethanol equation. This one did not appear to consider fertilizer as an input, for instance. Corn
