    I get that Americans can’t do simple math, but 30% less range for 60% less cost always makes economic sense.

    Ethanol does not prematurely dissolve seals and hoses on any car made in the last 30 years, and even if it does on older classic gas guzzlers, the hoses can be replaced for tens of dollars.

    Lot of Facebook Dad facts in this thread.

      Note that “rather undermines” does not mean “completely negates”. In any case…

      30% less range for 60% less cost always makes economic sense.

      Be sure to let everyone know when this new mix sells for 60% less than the current mix.

      As far as I can tell, it’s closer to 25 years. Be sure to let everyone with an older car know when you plan to buy them an upgrade.

      Lots of assumption and rudeness in your comment. Please learn to be better. Goodbye.
