Many months ago I wrote a post about how General Motors was starting a severly disingenuous marketing campaign about the positive effects of ethanol and their “flex fuel” vehicles. To make a long story short, these bums at General Motors are promoting this “alternative fuel” that costs just about as much as regular gas, but you go through it quicker. Think about that for a minute – paying the same dollar amount for a gas that you need more of…
Why would anyone want this crap?!?
Anyway, the Asbury Park Press reports that some boaters have been running into problems with their new ethanol-based gasoline. I have a few things to say about this. First of all – ha ha ha ha ha!
Now then, I think that these boaters’ problems are just the tip of the iceberg. First it’s stall-outs in the water, next it’s stall-outs on the road.
I’m all for reducing our dependence on foreign oil, but what’s the point if the mode of that reduction is flawed? Can our oil-based employment structure work on a flawed mode of transportation?
Just something to think about…
