Where did you read that? Everything that I've seen is to the contrary.

E85 is clean. A typical FFV driver can prevent 4 tons of lifecycle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other harmful pollutants from entering our air every year by fueling with E85 instead of gasoline. Using E85 can reduce tailpipe emissions such as ozone-forming pollutants by about 20%. E85 will also reduce evaporative emissions of air toxics and ozone formers.

It takes more energy to produce E85 than what using E85 saves.

And beyond that, it has less potential energy per gallon, hence why you need larger injectors to dump more fuel. If you do calculations based on potential energy and not on volume, the carbon output difference is at most 3 significant figures.

Guys, I think what he was getting at was that there is less emissions from the actual car itself, hence why he got a test-pipe. Not the overall process of making E-85>burning it in your car.

Re: Teachers must HATE AMERICA!?!?!?!?!

We don 't need teachers planting any "seed" of any type into children's young minds, other than that an education is a great thing to have and that you can reach your dreams if you work for them. Research shows that your life long core beliefs are set in motion at early age, not in high school or college. Take a look at marketing as an example. Major car companies, etc. put out children's toys with their trade marks and designs. Why? Because when you come of age and can afford to buy something of your own, subconsciously, you'll be pulled in the direction of what you remember as a good thing from your childhood. Think when "young Tommy" get's his little John Deer tractor to play with and have fun with today in the sandbox at the age of 5, that when he needs a lawn mower or tractor later in life he won't at least consider, if not purchase a John Deer for himself? I'm not making this stuff up, it really works. Does it work on everybody, no, but it does work.

School should be about education, not agendas. And as far as education goes, we're getting left way behind the rest of the world.
