  • Can someone with more knowledge than me explain why something like e85 isn’t more universally accepted? I love the idea, works in all makes and years of cars (it’s a myth that it doesn’t work in old cars, it works fine if you upgrade the rubber), burns cleaner (maybe?), is somewhat renewable, supports farmers. However it’s like 20% less efficient. But it’s awesome for turbo cars and race engines too.

    In my view I’d rather go down that route instead of batteries, where we are all forced to scrap millions of perfectly good cars, for battery cars that are like a throwaway phone, unrepairable and expensive, and controlled by the mfg/gov to do whatever they want.

    Sure public transport is maybe better but not for large area places. We are always going to need cars.
