Then how many people would pay the extra? None. People go for the cheap. If you burn straight gasoline, you get better gas mileage to off set the difference at the pump. Do your math. Numbers don't lie.
Wont argue with you on the cost factor, but several fellows on here have said it cost them more, federal or state subsidy? Who knows. I chose to use it to help with cutting our dependents on imported oil. My point was that if you don,t like it ,don,t use it. and then complain when something goe,s bad. and I have had no problem in 30 plus years. I don,t put it anything that it will harm.
