The pipline companies in our state anounced today thatt they will no long recieve 87 octane regular through the pipe lines. It will now flow 84 octane, UNSALABLE BY STATE LAW crap. Then the 10% ethanol will get it up to 87.... Meanwhile the cost of 87 without ethanol will go up as much as 40 cents, if you can find anyone who trucks it in.
I am not against ethanol, but I am against the removal of choice from the market place. I also liked 90+ octane E10, but always stayed away from 87 octane E10 when out of state, basically the only times I saw it for sale. They are taking away 2 points of octane and selling for the same price, taking advantage of the situation. I don't think 84 should be alowed to enter the state, as it cann't be sold with out the 10% added ethanol.
This move on their part will effectively end the choice we have had on E10 for 35 years in Iowa. Of course it is legal. I can still be pissed off by it...
