Comment Ethanol (Score 1) 986
For a long time, I've had a sneaking suspicion that the reason government (and automobile companies) was so "hot" to have us use ethanol was (besides the obvious pork factor) that it burns in a way that the heat generated destoys engines (especially cheaper aluminum ones) over time.
I also wondered what the effect of alcohol and water "burning" in a mix with cheap gasoline would have on the older, cheaper, simpler engines.
Anyone know of research on that sort of thing?
