The industry's first response was "this will drive up prices at the
pump"   Curious that that was also their first response when MTBE was

My cars (all older) are very unhappy on this stuff... unfortunately
they're also unhappy on ethanol, the current environmental platform
choice of both leading presidential candidates as they campaign in Iowa.

How about some REAL GAS? I spend over $300 per month on gas and wouldn't
(terribly) mind paying somewhat more for the real stuff.
