I had heard that it was basically drained. He's supposed to refill it, but I don't see that happening until after the election.
As far as gas prices at the pump, it seems like they go up a lot faster than they come back down, but that's just my experience.
Yeah, I pay about 4$ for premium gas now. Total waste of money, I think.

Have you tried dollar-cost averaging your gas?
It saves a little money, over the long-term.

No, I should probably just use the cheap gas instead. But I dont use that much gas to begin with, so its not the end of the world. I drive an older car, the ethanol gas sucks. You can hear and feel the difference.

Ethanol is an abomination

Its total horse shit. Instead of making us use ethanol, design engines so they run a bit cleaner.

But that doesn't give corn farmers unearned profits, which doesn't earn politicians their votes.
reply
I dont think corn farmers actually make money with ethanol. They grow the corn, but the profit comes later for the people who process it.
reply
No, they definitely get higher prices for the same corn because of the ethanol subsidies. That's the whole point of the subsidies.
