In case you missed it last week, here is the latest video
from IL Corn:
This video is the perfect marriage of entertaining and
effective. Making E-15 available to consumers at gas stations does not put
motorcyclists at a higher risk for misfueling… as long as they can read a
label, that is.
But this brings up a far-reaching issue that goes beyond
ethanol: accountability. At what point are we all going to take a little
responsibility for ourselves? We are living in a world of making $1 million for
spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing beer companies for the lack of
beautiful women that surround you when you drink their product.
Sooner or later, we are all going to have to be responsible
adults who can make a decision based on the information we are given. If we
spill hot coffee on ourselves, we put a Band-Aid on it and chalk it up to a bad
case of “The Monday’s.” If we pull up to a gas station pump in a car that is
not compatible with higher blends of ethanol, we push the button that says
“regular unleaded” before fueling.
As consumers, we want choices. We want the option to buy
organic or conventionally grown produce at the grocery store. We want the
option to buy milk that is 2%, fat free, Vitamin D fortified, or skim. So it is
hard for me to understand why people are against making E-15 available at gas
stations. It would be an option
for those individuals that want it, and the regular unleaded gasoline (which is
typically a 10% ethanol blend anyway) is still available to those of you who would
prefer that option.
So let’s make E-15 available at all gas stations. “Humanity
can handle it.”
