Re: [Chrysler300] OCW article on gasoline

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here in Nebraska --one of the main ethanol producers sadly-- they are 
planning on taking away the labels on the pumps telling you what the ethanol 
content is.  I will not buy gas with it in if at all possible and am furious 
about hiding the stuff without labeling.

One of the comments in the papers that I have seen talks about how people 
want to know it is in the gas and that if it is not shown they will go to 
another gas station.  I hope the public is not that duped but they may well 
be.  I'm just the opposite of course --if it is there I will go on.

Have had enough car troubles as a result of the dang stuff.  Damage to older 
cars and kwrappy mileage on new ones is enough to keep me away.
