Truth B. Told Hold the Kool Aid asked:


Also, is gas only available now with 10% ethanol for the regular grade? Do the premium and middle grades not contain ethanol? Thanks.

Completely_inept asked:


The Gas City in the town where I work has an option on the pump now for gasoline with 10 percent ethanol. It’s way cheaper than the regular gasoline. My question is, can I use it? Will it damage my car? Do I need to make some adjustments or improvements to my car in order to have it take this sort of fuel?

I went to the gas station the other day, and I normally get gasoline without any ethanol. This time, however, I think I may have hit the button with 10% ethanol added. I drive a Pontiac Grand Am 1999 v6.

My car just today started making this horrible loud CLANK CLANK CLANK noise anytime I drive fast . I think it may b the gas.

Could it be because there was still gas without any ethanol left?

Would the ethanol do this to my car?

What else could it be?

PB asked:


I ask this because much of the ethanol we use in our vehicles comes from grains which are high in starch. The more ethanol produced, the less food is available. This results in higher food prices. This makes it harder for people living in poorer nations to afford the food they need to survive.

Bottle Caps the best candy ever! asked:


Also does the 15% ethanol gas make a difference in fuel consumption or does is burn better what does it do exactly. I’ve heard that the ethanol can damage seals and corrode gas tanks.

headband_nick asked:


With Gas Prices what they are in Southern California i was thinking about running my car on Pure or next to pure Ethanol, I’m just not exactly sure how to go about doing it. Or if i need to do anything to my car ( i have a 94 Cougar XR7 ) and is there any legal thing I need to worry about because i will be more or less running a distillery.
This would be for my personal use, friends’ cars and not for drinking so i could use a lower grade of grain.

I see just as many cons to ethanol as pros.
“Its a renewable resource that is made from crops grown in the USA. No OPEC”

Hmmm. That is the answer at its very basic. Have you done any other research to be able to say whats going on with it?
