Did you know there are cancer-causing additives in our gasoline? That they were put there to increase octane, and “clean” up the environment?
Me neither.
I didn’t know that until I read this article by DarkPalmer: http://darkpalmer.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/the-case-for-ethanol/
Turns out, Ethanol is an environmentally-friendly way to increase the octane of the gas you put in your current car (it doesn’t have to be an e85 vehicle). It makes the gas burn more cleanly, and it won’t poison ground water.
They are collecting names on a petition if you’d like to get involved: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/declare-july-4th-energy-independence-day
Also you can get more info on Ethanol at www.drivingethanol.org.
