100% gasoline is hard to find because motorists

gasoline, motorists would buy more than the
mandates require.


If it were price alone, there would be such a clamor E85 would be far
more advanced than it is.

It is not price alone. It is the combination of price and performance.
Ford engineers predict that



As is, even where it is available there's
lagging demand despite the price differential and the increase in
flex-fuel vehicles that can use it.

Flex fuel vehicles are a lot less efficient than they
could be because the govt requires that they run on
gasoline. The govt is doing everything it can to
sabotage ethanol and bolster oil company profits.
You are just to dumb to see it.



And, that minor difficulty on the supply side that the blenders have no
choice but to put the vast majority of product out to meet the RFS

That is bull**** propaganda. When the gas stations try to
sell the more expensive 100% gasoline it just sits in their
tanks and gets old. Gas stations would sell even more ethanol
than they do now if the EPA lifted the limits on on the amount
allowed. The govt is doing everything it can to
sabotage ethanol and bolster oil company profits.
You are just to dumb to see it.


as
there's no other gasoline-compatible product out there at the moment
that qualifies as the "R" part in RFS.

Sure there is . There is the mandated ethanol from cellulose.
But no one pays attention to thjat mandatebecause it is not
profitable. The mandates are irrelevant. More ethanol
would be sold if the govt did not have regulations that
prevent it. The govt is doing everything it can to
sabotage ethanol and bolster oil company profits.
You are just to dumb to see it.
