Quite the long winded non-answer to my question…but ok. And my mileage may vary but I don’t believe it will “very.” Sheesh.
I don’t believe that’s much of a problem.
Some people will buy 100% hydrocarbons.. no matter what.
Others will buy ethanol enriched fuel.. no matter what.
Most will be rational consumers and will figure out which is the best financially for them.. aka the market will decide.
My point is that the upper Midwest.. aka the ethanol belt will have a transportation advantage and will sell max E 30 (and possibly E 85) and should be allowed.. other areas.. hydrocarbons May be more competitive.. let the markets decide.
Where the rubber meets the road are where the retailers will have access to fuels. We have both Ethanol enriched as well as “ethanol free” retailers here.. right now the ethanol enriched are making more than the ethanol free and are expanding.
So as long as retailers have access and can offer to rational consumers.. the markets will determine.
If someone wants to pay more for ethanol free.. let them. |
Brazil is going to E 30.. while the US spends an additional $200 billion to secure a passage.
