15% Ethanol Gas Bad Deal:
Motorcycle Poison?
EPA pushing for a 50% Increase in the amout of ethanol-gas ratio, so what's the big deal? ABM believes our $750 repair job on a burned valve was a direct result of ethanol, and happened on an injected, EPA certified bike, shortly after ethanol appeared in Florida, forcibly, in every grade of gasoline, thanks to a majority of bend-over leglislators.
Isn't Ethanol Green?
According to the Orlando Sentinal, the EPA's own study concluded that corn ethanol emits more greenhouse gasses than gasoline over 30 years when you compare indriect effects such as plowing of forests to make way for corn crops as a result of increased demand. Worse yet, mileage on cars, trucks, bikes, & boats actualy has decreased 10% as a result of ethanol blending.
What Does Harley-Davidson Think?
My HD manual for an '06 fuel injected softail standard says the max allowable ethanol to gas blend is 10%. Exceeding this amount can cause engine failure. Have you priced a new v-twin engine lately?
China? Russia? N Korea?
Give us a choice. Leave just one pump free of ethnol. Let the public decide. Congress, are you going to sell out the American public because a lobbyist bought your lunch?
Complaint Deadline: July 20, 2009!
