why continue enforcing the ethanol content law, when it only increases the pump price of the fuel?

The power of lobbying? The greed of those in office? The ignorance of our electorate? I dunno.
What I do know is....I don't want ethanol in our cars.

when the ethanol content law came to force,
i did not connect the dots at first.

So newer cars aren't affected. If I may draw my conclusion, you shouldn't use ethanol blend if you seldom use the car. Does Shell offers ethanol free fuel?

define "seldom use".
we leave our 2003 altis un-run for 2-3 weeks at a time.
we use the cheapest unleaded we can find. usually, ptt, because it is in the neighborhood.
no issues.

Newer cars are just built more tolerant. Would you want water buildup in your tank? Blaze was eFree, brother Bossing. I hope it remains to be. Below was how Petron got around way back....

Sobrang tinitipid na nga ng mga resto ang corn on the cob sa mga steak restos eh , minsan kasing nipis na lang ng lalagyan ng pomada ang cut lol

Pero heads up to all of you in 2011 to 2013, we used E85 on our Ford Explorer Flex Fuel.

Come 2016 ng fuel line problems even 2 sensors gave up

Ethanol us very dangerous to fuel lines especially yun may mga rubber fittings or whatever, it can burn it

Thats why I avoided gasoline cars na coz force mandated ng US yan E10 na bilhen ng mga countries all over the world

The problem is hinde na malaman kung E10 o e15 or E20 na ang mix na pinapakalat sa mgs fuel companies ngaun

As a result grabe ang drop ng FC ng mga gasoline cars ngsun, with 5km / liter becoming as a norm sa bumper traffic sa metro

O ano trav, sabi ko sayo eh go diesel na. Alam ko talaga na walang kwenta ang gsoline, ginagawang milking cow ng mga Amerikano yan kasi they produce a lot of corn. Thats basically their staple agri, as Asia is to rice

Kaya nga sikat yun lagi yun mga horror movies na sa corn fields ang gawa kasi andami movie settings na corn sa Amerika

Haha...I'm keeping our old dirty oil burner, brother OB....No plans getting any of those DPF-equipped ones, thank you. I'll be happy watching you enjoy yours.[emoji106]
