More seriously, no one really needs convincing on this which is why coming off the top rope seems like such an over-reaction and generates some snark in response. The small number of people who are pure gas die-hards isn't significant, and those running it in small engines like mowers and outboards don't add up to much at all on a fuel markets level. I just don't understand getting so incensed about a small impact choice by a limited number of people. Biofuel demand is at an all time high in the U.S. (over 10% total blend) in spite of the impact of small refinery exemptions and the first ethanol production drop in 20 years. So while that might have corn farmers and ethanol plant workers upset (I listen to farm country radio news), the gas market is clearly integrating it just fine because the engine technology handles it just fine.

I'm pretty sure VMS was not being humorous. Neither was I. Please drop all the personal #*#* and perhaps we can collectively get back to any substantive discussion we might wish to.[/QUOTE]

We are discussing a segment of the market especially sensitive to misinformation and generalization.
I work in that segment every day. Easy to identify and speak to, but only with a venue. I'm fortunate enough to have one. Plenty of politics you may not know about, but there, active, and spending lots of lots of dollars to keep up the misinformation campaigns none the less.
