Went down to 'the shore' the other day and was able to check out the fuel pumps for the boats. The label on the pump
said "100% Pure Gasoline". So, the implication here is that unless you see a label that says 100% pure, you are most
likely getting gasohol. There needs to be a lawsuit or something to get the pumps labeled correctly...

And you would sue who?

In Michigan the pumps are required to have a lable. That lable states
this fuel meets Michigan quality standard something or other. Nothing
is said about Alcohol. Back in the 70s the labels stated This gas
contains 10% Ethenol or something to that effect. Maybe Denny know why
it was changed.



Yes, that is my and a few others' point. It seems that any other product sold in the USA has some sort of truth in
labeling requirement. The feds dropped the requirement to indicate ethanol in the gasoline a few years ago, and since
that time the so-called gasoline is getting cut with higher and higher levels of ethanol. This is giving all of us lower
and lower gas mileage per gallon burned. This would never happen with any other product sold in the USA. It is false
marketing and should be challenged.

Just happened to catch CSPAN this afternoon, and they were debating the so-called energy bill. Amazing the comments from
both sides, and not one mention about how inefficient it is to make ethanol from corn! Believe it or not, the dems were
arguing for marked based corn prices, while the republicans were trying to get price controls in place. Jay's Iowa
senator is all for this corn subsidy stuff...simply baffling...
