#e15 — Public Fediverse posts

If you have an older car, start stockpiling gas if you can.

It's slow, but it will amount to a lot, very quickly. Please prepare.

Yes, #E15 Affects #Gas Mileage, But Here's A Reality Check
E15 was banned between June and September under federal #CleanAirAct, but now, #EPA, under #LeeZeldin, approved a measure to allow E15, commonly known as #Unleaded88, on sale through summer months of the year in a bid to help lower fuel prices.
Corn-based ethanol is a worse store of energy than fossil-based fuel, holding about one third less energy than pure gasoline. Switching to E15 means you're buying more gas.

So, the kakistocracy has decided the best way to deal with the #IranWar is to add more corn juice to our gasoline. And that's a problem.

Most of the gas labeled 88 at American pumps is #E10, 10% ethanol. And ethanol does indeed help make gas cheaper. But it is 33% less efficient, and in hot months dramatically increases smog.

Ethanol is also a hygroscopic solvent. Unless a vehicle is labeled "flex fuel", running 15% ethanol for more than a tank or two may cause damage to seals, rubber bits, and even aluminum. If your engine was manufactured before 2001, E15 can melt your valves. Literally.

It makes the car run less efficiently, produces significantly more #pollution, and can damage many existing vehicles on the market.

Believe it or not, and I'm having trouble, two #GOP Senators said it best when they said: Expansion of #E15: A gift to the #ethanol lobby and a consumer betrayal:

🚜💸 Oh no, the government's magic money hose isn't enough to save struggling farms? But wait, there's more! It turns out that shouting "Year-Round E15!" isn't a universal fix for economic woes. 🙄🔍

Second, #EPA moved forward a rule that would allow year-round sales of 15-percent #ethanol blends. Governors in eight states including #Missouri requested a waiver from Reid Vapor Pressure requirements over 18 months ago.

#LN Vzkaz Fialovi: Nekončíme

Sliboval spojování národa a prosperitu, místo toho kabinet premiéra Petra Fialy (ODS) včera čelil možná největší stávce od roku 1989.

#E15 Místo miliard z windfall tax jen drobné
#dnešnítisk #tisk230919 #titulka

Tragikomickým výsledkem zřejmě dopadne plán ministerstva financí vybrat od tuzemských bank v rámci takzvané windfall tax sumu, která by zásadně vylepšila bilanci státního rozpočtu. Největší české banky dokonce nevylučují, že přinejmenším z letošních zisků nebudou muset odvést na mimořádné dani ani korunu.
