They sell via card lock only but will issue a card to anyone and there is no minimum monthly purchase required.

Fill up 24/7 and get a bill at the end of the month.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. That was the point of my earlier comment. Or stated differently, there will still be a “market for bad gas” if the subsidies (blender’s credit) are all removed. However there would be NO “market for bad gas” at all if the mandates for bad gas would be removed.

The people who protect the richest people in the world also tell you that free market capitalisim is what makes America great. They know better than you and they also know you will keep voting for them.

I’ve had nothing but trouble with E-10 on my yard equipment (both 2 and 4 cycle) and that’s with using premium stabilizers. I switched a few years ago to Ethanol free gas (Phillips 66), but am having to rebuild carburetors on the equipment from the past use.

The industry is controlled by the major agribusiness companies (who have bought and paid for the politicians).

As I only own and drive older cars I am interpreting this as an assault on my freedom and my finances (i.e. trying to force me to buy a newer and too expensive auto).

It’s the same with the green subsidies, they are harmless without the green mandates that some state and private utilities are subject too. I’m for eliminating both the mandates and the subsidies, but to harp about only subsidies misses the point.

Not a good thing! What about my 1994 Miata? She runs better and gets better gas milage with 100% ethanol free gas. What goes with those of us on a fixed income who cannot afford a newer car?

Well if that is the case why do we place a $0.50 per gallon import duty on sugar based ethanol from South America?
