you can't just hop on the internet and have it shipped down to you like any other product that you can't get in your area.
But hopefully we can get rid of the ethanol. It's bad for the planet, it's bad for our cars, it's bad for our wallets.

With the price of gas getting where it is, I'm glad I don't even own a car any more.
