I had heard about the 15% requirement.

I also seem to remember a recent news story about how many of the ethanol producers
are on a razor thin edge of staying in business.� If enough of them go out of business
there won't be sufficient ethanol to make the 15%.

Don't know if that is good or bad in the long run, but will certainly impact those of us
driving machines with older fuel management systems.

I understand that we will be going to 15% almost everywhere. Part of the
sustainability plan. Diesel is also going to be 15% bio. So we pay more for
it to not take us as far.

Switch to non-ethanol mixed gas.....you'll get a bit better mileage.

I used to get 18-19 in my syncro until all the regular gas got ethanol.� Now
it is right on 17 like yours.
