Re: What is it with the fuel these days.

What I don't understand is why "we" have to put an additive in to keep moisture from being absorbed into the fuel "they" put ingredients in that cause this problem. Seems to me "they" need to add that one more ingredient. You'd think with what fuel costs (and the huge profits it earns oil companies) the cost could easily be covered.

I heard a good one on the news. "Well,with spring on it's way the cost of gas is rising." Ok,so they just gave us the reason for the rise in cost...springtime. And we are trained to accept that one as the way it is already,just like diesel going up in winter. But wait,as with tradition,the oil companies feel the need to provide us a supposed reason (lie) for the rise (other than we want to make more money). This time they figure they'll use the excuse that it's the rising cost of ethanol! Really? Then take it out!! I'd be willing to do without ethanol watering down my fuel,dropping my MPGs,and causing issues if it meant saving money. Wouldn't you?
