I wanted to address Null's concerns about Ethanol in gasoline in his last MATI, and even if he only got "a vibe" to not trust it, he is completely right about it.

Ethanol is hygroscopic. It LOVES water (that's why you get dehydrated when you get drunk).
So when you put that shit in your tank, there's always air present, especially on older vehicles that don't pressurize their tanks that well.
Over time the ethanol in the fuel manages to pull the water from the air and the condensation happening because of temperature changes.
While on cars, this process can take a long time, it happens really fast in gas cans, stored in sheds. 1-3 month max, is what most people recommend for the maximum storage, but I've seen it happen in less than 2 weeks, when the conditions are right, and if you live in a humid climate.
No need to explain why you don't want water mixed with your fuel and the dire consequences this can have on the fuel system of your vehicle/lawnmower/boat.
It gets even worse on carburated systems, where the water can sit at the bottom of the float bowl and corrode away at the aluminium.

Plus, Ethanol based fuels are less efficient IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT IT BISH

Also, gas station ethanol fuel can vary insanely but at least it's easy to understand.
While E10 and E15 are okay-ish and only contain respectively 10% and 15% of ethanol, this is often not THAT bad of a problem for everyday use. However please, try to not store these without stabilizing them first.
The problem comes with the E85 fuel that can range from 51% to 85% Ethanol and should not even be considered fuel and instead be labelled as Everclear.
 
You don't want the alcohol added gas in a normal car, it is basically just price support for the corn lobby. For a car to run well on ethenol it would need a much higher compression ratio than a normal car.

One of the many reasons that the US food system is so fucked up is the massive and labyrinthian system of grain subsidies that has existed since the days of FDR the demon cripple. Huge swaths of the heartland grow flint corn that that only exists to be funneled into government boondoggle programs like ethanol vehicle fuel.

Drink gas to avoid the super high alcohol tax. Got it.
 
Ethanol also eats through seals and hoses. Modern car seals and hoses aren't a problem but for small engines that aren't that old or older cars, or aircraft it can be very bad news.
Sorry Californians who get ethanol in everything.

YES.

Pre-2000's rubber compounds are NOT rated against the solvent agent of Ethanol.
This is due to a lack of PTFE (basically teflon, another TERRIBLE material to exist), which causes the (mostly) natural rubber compound to dry out and crack, and delaminate.

Gasoline without ethanol is naturally stable, but when phase separation occurs, the resulting cocktail of water and ethanol is acidic with a PH of around 5.
This is a perfect environment for the development of acetobacter that can even further oxidize the ethanol and produce acetic acid.

I can't be the only one who thinks the guy that got smoked by ICE in Minneapolis after his reddit meme gun (sig p320) discharged after being minorly jostled looks like jewish Nick Rekeita, right? They seem to have a very limited gene pool in the twin cities

I was thinking about nulls white girl music tastes and it reminded me of these videos.

He just needs to make one full of his music called "white girl playlist for right wing death squads" or "white girl playlist for bathing in commie blood in the second civil war" or something like that and it will be a banger for sure.

In the Minnesota riot thread, I said that he looks like a gayer and more Jewish version of Regular Car Reviews
