I would happily pay more at the pump for Top Tier Ethanol free fuel.
The thing is that article is kind of misleading, but most people would scream. One thing I learned when I was an auto tech is most people, at least in this country, Know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
If it cost Johhny Reb and extra 4 dollars to fill his pickup truck he would be even more enraged than he already is. The extra 4 dollars can go towards important things such as a pack of reds or lottery tickets.
Where I live you see alot of people driving 50k pickup trucks, with lift kits and huge tires and rims, oh I almost forgot the tuner, and yet while they spent all that money rednecking it out, they SCREAM about gas prices. On top of that, many of them do not maintain the trucks very well and when they fix something they use cheapest possible substandard Chinese parts.
I find it extremely amusing when one of these types wont quit complaining about fuel prices, yet they blow raw diesel fuel out of the exhaust constantly.....
