    I would have gone that direction but it would have dampened the original "green" plan if both E10 and regular unleaded was available. And given Filipinos are a conservative lot by culture, the majority would remain with regular unleaded and shy away from E10. Back then, for E10 to become the "choice" fuel, it had to be the only fuel available.

    that's what happens when govt people get sucked into the pro-environment ideology

    remember, the green movement (or whatever it's called) is an ideology

    Al Gore and other environmentalists are pushing their ideology worldwide

    mabenta sa mga pinoy yan

    locally you have Gina Lopez pushing that ideology

    with ABSCBN at her disposal she's very dangerous

    if they priced e10 gas 1 to 2 pesos lower than regular gas that would create enough incentive for consumers to buy e10

    but that wouldnt have created enough demand to absorb all the locally-produced ethanol

    they enforced e10 to create demand to absorb locally-produced ethanol

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, Is there a conspiracy behind it?
