Think we can talk the airlines into using ethanol in their JP5?

For what it's worth.....

There may not have been a party in Times Square to celebrate, but two of the most wasteful subsidies ever to clutter the Internal Revenue Code went out with the old year.

Congress declined to renew either the 45-cent-per-gallon tax credit for corn-based ethanol or the 54-cent-per-gallon tariff on imported ethanol, so both expired Dec. 31.

Taxpayers will no longer have shell out roughly $6 billion per year for a program that badly distorted the global grain market, artificially raised the cost of agricultural land and did almost nothing to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

A federal law requiring the use of 36 billion gallons of ethanol for fuel by 2022 still props up the industry, but the tax credit's expiration is a victory for common sense just the same.

Meanwhile, a lesser-known but equally dubious energy tax break also expired when the year ended Saturday: the credit that gave electric-car owners up to $1,000 to defray the cost of installing a 220-volt charging device in their homes — or up to $30,000 to install one in a commercial location.

Thanks it will be very useful when we go on a long road trip this summer. My car is an srt4 caliber [the hot rod 4 cylinder model with the stage one computer in it} This car truly hates ethanol. Gas mileage noticeably drops and it gets very grumpy around town. My manual says do not use E85 or serious damage to the motor could result. By the way just like whiskey has water dissolved in it, there is always some water in our gasoline, if you put ethanol in you create a problem. When the car, truck, or boat sits in storage for some time, the ethanol will attract the water in the fuel the mixture will sink to the bottom of the tank. Eventually a puddle will form there and two things can potentially occur. One, when you restart the computer senses a change in the gas mixture and tries to compensate, however this does not work very well. Then, the longer it sits, the more likely you will get bacterial fermentation and a production of organic acids in the ethanol/water mixture. Well, guess what that will do to the parts over time. Well, anyway, thanks for the list.
