Hay when you respond your not ignoring. Sorry you’re another one that attended the one child left behind program. So that would again make you the commander TROLL!!
Are you going for the ignorant award? Your near that position.

Now that you recognize the issue you should be able to see your higher education short falls. Maybe you should start at a higher level with your education. That Pre K level thing would be a waste of time.

Actually, I did think that you would find at least one thing we could agree on. Just as litesong and I agree that ethanol in gasoline is a bad thing.

Also I will add a second degree in february and am looking at adding a third. It would only take less than a dozen courses to add the third.

The sun is presently 'near that position' farthest to the Earth's south, due to Earth's place in its orbit & precessional tilt.

What are some of the positives of ethanol for fuel? Saves on fossil fuels. It is an oxygenation. It increases the octane rating of gasoline without adding dangerous additives. When mixed with gasoline, it is a very good gum solvent and cleans the fuel injectors. Since it absorbs water, it dries gasoline and prevents gas line freezes. Since it is produced from growing crops, it adds much less CO2 into the atmosphere. It helps the farmers show a little more profit.

All that said, it would be better if it were produced from non food crops. Brazil is doing just fine with producing it from sugar cane.

Now if you can show all that you actually have a higher education than we would agree on would make two. At this point you are borderline high school 10th grade.

With careful decades long records of mpg, two of our 3 cars, increased their mpg to 7 & even 8+%, when switched to 100% gasoline(ethanol-free). None of the 3 cars showed the low ethanol industry propagandistic 3% difference between 100% gasoline & 10% ethanol blends. Thousands of drivers report more mpg savings when running with 100% gasoline. As an oxygenator, ethanol decreases the pollutants of only one emission, but slightly increases the emissions of two or three other emissions. I don't care about farmers who sacrifice feeding humans to feed internal combustion engines for bigger bucks.

[litesong]

Ethanol as used in present gasoline engines designed to run with 100% gasoline, does not get its best efficiency. Ethanol needs high compression engines, close to that of diesel engines, to gain its efficiency. That is why the high performance, high compression Indy cars work well with ethanol. But the 10% ethanol in 'designed for gasoline' gasoline engines misses its efficiency region.

Was that an answer from experience/knowledge or the usual cut and paste you do?

Ethanol? Terrible crappy fuel.

Corrosive.
Hygroscopic - stores poorly, goes bad quickly as it takes up water.
Did I mention corrosive?
Destroys FRP fuel tanks, e.g. in watercraft.
Lousy energy content - only 2/3 the energy content of gasoline
Lousy mpg to match
Safety hazard - when spilled and ignited, invisible flame

The corrosion problems have been solved. The hygroscopic property is a plus as well as a minus. Even though the energy content per gal of ethanol is less than gasoline, it is a viable energy efficient alternative. Most studies show a significant positive energy content.
http://www.ethanol.org/pdf/contentmgmt/ILSR_e...

"steel USTs have been shown to be satisfactory for storing 100 percent ethanol and E-blend gasoline (Archer Daniels Midland Co., 1998). Steel tanks have been used to store alcohols for more than 50 years without documented compatibility problems."

The tailpipe emissions of ethanol are at least as clean as petroleum gasoline and produce much less environmental CO2.

The positives and negatives will decide the future of ethanol.

As for one to six so is water so stop dirnking both. For #7 could be depending on what other chem it would be mixed with. Did you stay up all night with litesout to respond with your babble? Do tell all commander troll

Beautiful paper. Beautiful science.

Thanks.

P.S. Mr. Ford would agree.
