This debate will most likely continue until the end of time.
However, your blustery assertion that the ethanol problems are to be blamed on incompetent mechanics is simply wrong.
There are and will continue to be some problems with the use of ethanol in motor fuels. Some facts are undeniable simply because they are FACTS.
FACT: there are less BTUs in ethanol than in gasoline.
FACT: E10 has a shorter shelf life than pure gasoline. Phase separation WILL occur at some point with E10. This means that equipment that is not frequently used may have ethanol related problems.
FACT: Use of ethanol in fuels has caused the value of corn to increase. It has also affected the cost of food.
OPINION: I don't think that E10 mixes as well with 2-cycle oil as straight gasoline does leading to potential problems with some small 2-cycle engines - like chain saws, string trimmers, leaf blowers, etc.
At the end of the day, some like it, some don't. Whether I like it or not, all I ask is to be allowed to make the choice for myself. And, I ask the same for you and other defenders of ethanol. Let the subsidies end - if there are any. Let the marketplace decide.
