Like many boaters in the Northeast I've suffered from ethanol fuel causing a couple of thousand dollars of outboard motor repair and a new custom fuel tank installed. That was only 10%, I can only imagine the headache and wallet-ache 15% will cause. Ethanol fuel is a bad solution to our energy problem. Ethanol diverts corn from food to fuel - raising the cost of food, causing food shortages, food riots and adds to world hunger. It also uses another precious resource water that we should not waste.
Today I received an email from Boaters World asking boaters to fight against the increase to 15% ethanol. Here's the link.
