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.

The station here in town that markets "100% gas" and "no ethanol" does a
land-rush business--the driveway is always occupied; they certainly have
no trouble in selling the product. It's generally about 10 cents or so
higher than the stations down the block.


What you are observing is not the effects of govt policy.
What you are seeing are the effects of market forces. If
2 stations decided to sell 100% gasoline there wouldn't
be enough business to keep them both alive. That is how your
town got down to having only one station selling straight gas.



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.

There is no "mandated ethanol from cellulose" just as there is no
mandate for ethanol from grain (corn isn't the only grain used). The
mandate is for "renewable fuels" that doesn't require anything specific.


Now you are getting desperate and making up stories.
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007,
set separate volume mandates for each category of
renewable fuel.
