[QUOTE="C&K, post: 482258, member: 30707"] Actually ethanol does serve a purpose. It is the oxygenate and octane-booster. They outlawed tetraethyl lead and MTBE long ago. Without ethanol in today's fuels you'd be running 6.5:1 compression on the equivalent of Coleman lantern gas and it would probably still ping. There are other additives that distributors can add to refinery gas for octane boosters, but none as cheap as ethanol, considering that just about everything else has been outlawed by federal law.
