Re: [T3] ethanol

<x-flowed>Ethanol, at some point will make a car run leaner. I am having trouble 
finding out what some old car people are saying about this. I can find 
E85, but that is 85% ethanol, and 5% dino. I wonder at what point it 
will become a real problem? As Russ sait he doesn't think 10%-20% will 
make much difference.

You know they won't stop there, it will be the more is better theory . 
This is not even addressing if this is a good thing or not for a short 
or long term. My BIL says that the conversion-ramping up for this "new" 
fuel is why gas prices have not gone down, but will go up. I don't know 
if thats true or not.
