My car's on the borderline, 2001, so I'd rather not take chances, and I'm not at all convinced that it won't have environmental repercussions. Plus, using all this corn, that would better suit other purposes, is upsetting an environmental and economic balance. There are stations that still sell ethanol-free, but they're a lot more expensive and few and far between.
