Ethanol in gasoline is a boon for farmers, but rips-off American consumers

Fueled by advanced technology, the American energy resurgence is paying off for consumers and shielding U.S. markets from instability overseas.

But drivers may need extra cash to pay the mechanic if federal regulators keep forcing more ethanol into the fuel supply.

Multiple industries have long warned about the risks of higher-ethanol fuels like E15 (15 percent ethanol), which extensive testing shows can damage engines and fuel systems.

It is also a boon to companies like Archer Daniels Midland, one of the largest political contributors and a ripoff to taxpayers, anyone who buys feedstock for cattle.
