Gov. Abbott from Texas quote after dropping illegals in DC= awesome
“We are taking them to the United States Capitol where the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” the governor added.
posted by jmogConsidering ethanol has about 33% less energy/BTUs than gasoline, adding in an additional 5% will lower your gas mileage by about 2%. At $4/gal that effecitvely raises the cost by 8 cents, so the 10 cent cheaper is basically completely offset by the fact that you will be buying 8% more gasoline at e15 than you do at e10.
It makes zero sense to anyone who can do the math.
I can't imagine it's good for the longterm health of vehicles, either.

Depends on the age of your vehicle.
Newer vehicles' fuel lines are different materials that can handle the solvent properties of ethanol. Older vehicles, ethanol at 15% can/will eat holes in fuel/vacuum lines overtime. I have actually had this happen on an old Focus I used to drive.
Basically if your car is equipped to handle "Flex Fuel" which basically means you can put gasoline or E85 in it, then the E15 won't be an issue. If it is not equipped for "Flex Fuel", I would be careful.

The Biden administration is claiming that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's inspection of trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico is not only "unnecessary," but contributing to inflation throughout the country.
In a statement issued Wednesday morning, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the delays caused by Abbott's policies were having far-reaching impacts.
It was Putin's fault yesterday; today it's the Texas governor's fault. Toooooooooooo funny

wasnt it the head of the agriculture dept of texas that asked him to end this for the same reason?
Fun Fact: If DC followed suit and kicked Ted Cruz out and forced him to return to Texas, they'd wind up the winner in that exchange!posted by Fletch

Biden has extended the mask mandate for air travel. Thank God. Now we’ll finally get rid of this pesky Covid by masking people up on airplanes and nowhere else. Great decision.

If it's still in effect when I fly to DC in May I'm just going to take an hour long shit.

Didn't Covid end with the Ukraine invasion?
NY Mayor Adams trying to channel Obama saying "we got him....we got him". Fell very flat given, obviously, it was a recorded/telecast.
You could almost feel the cringe imagining his staff brainstorming how to use this tragedy to prop-up his standing and perception.

I fly often and usually have a drink going at all times. I'm not going to be an asshole about it because it's not the crew's fault though. Just a bunch of silly nonsense.
They really need to up his meds. Wandering around the Obama event looking like the kid no one wanted to talk to looked way worse but not really a big deal.
But what is so sad about his recent turn to shake hands with no one is just how slow and confused he acted. Like if I were to try booting up a laptop from 20 years ago...
It is sad and shameless. But he is the most controllable political figure. His family will be well taken care of.

Saw that. It was funny if it wasn’t the POTUS, but sadly it is.
