There have been some comments lately about the effects of ethanol on our cars and in particular carbbed type 4 engines.Zach is switching from carbs to modern fuel injection due to the effects of the E10 on his driveability and I had a problem spring before last where my valves gummed up with a sticky residue and dropped a seat.

My question is do the guys that are running a 9550 cam and Djet notice any effects from the E10 fuel?What is the driveability as opposed to a carbbed engine?

20 years from now it won't be corn.

Algae and seaweed have way more caloric energy then corn, its cheaper to produce them in larger quantity. Algae can be vat grown in a relatively small space and seaweed and also be farmed. Sugarcane and switchgrass also have advantages over corn.

The only thing keeping corn in US ethanol is the govt subsidy. If the market were to decide on its own - and I think it will sooner then later - corn will move out of the way for a cheaper, more calorie packed option.
