minus-squarejubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 month agoE-85 as in (up to) 85% ethanol. Gotta subsidize those corn farmers somehow.
minus-squareGormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoJFC that would thrash my poor little car!
minus-squareFudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoYeah, not every car can use it. Gotta rtfm before filling up with the corn trash.
minus-squareboaratio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 month agoNo, it has ethanol in it. Not lead. Ethanol is made from corn and it’s subsidized by the government so farmers can sell their excess corn.
