  I'm curious...Would ethanol gasoline we get now not be similar to running
Heet in the gas?  Do we even have to bother if the gas we are sold contains
alcohol already?


 And, wouldn't ethanol/gas have lots MORE water in it than un-blended
gas....water that was in the pipes, the tanks, the hoses, etc etc that the
gas encounters between the refinery and the spark plugs?
