All I can say is: Thank God for the auto-gas STC.

Don't blame the Governator. It is a Federal requirement that ethanol
is in our gasoline, thanks to Shrub's desperate attempt to placate
midwest corn states and retain their vote.

Aha! That explains why the smallest size popcorn you could buy at the
movies was the volume of an oil drum. Damn you midwest corn states,
damn you to hell and rice cakes!

Like most truly awesome pork projects, ethanol is one of those things
you'll find the D and the R in perfect agreement on over a long span
of time. You might as well blame Bush for the Mode C requirement, he
had about as much to do with that.
