NH, do you think that is why NB hasn't had trouble with the ethanol like everyone else?

The only additive I use is Stable and I drain the tanks every summer.(not on the cars) The biggest problem with gasoline is letting it get stale, not ethanol, because it turns into a varnish. A good ride always clears out the injectors. You have to remember that fuel pumps of today move gas in the system at about 90PSI while in older cars the mechanical fuel pumps would pump the gas up to the carburetor at about 4PSI. Big difference. I remember the in-line gas filters years ago that needed to be changed regularly. In many of today's cars there is no maintenance schedule to change the gas filter, and it is in frequently in the gas tank. You're barking up the wrong tree with your ethanol claims. I've never had a problem with it!

By the way…

It’s not a shift by the Republicans.  

You see there are such a wide variety of scandals, gross incompetence, negligence and lies for this administration; it is sometimes difficult to stay focused on just one.   Don’t worry yourself a bit…there will be plenty of time to delve into all of them before the elections.   

Nick and Rachel Robinson were excited about the possibilities that Obamacare offered them when they found out they were expecting a third child.

“It’s one of those times where you hear the news and there’s this immediate sense of joy and excitement like, ‘Yay, a new kid. That’s awesome!’” Nick Robinson told NPR. But the happy news also came with a new set of worries. “What are we going to do? How are we going to pay for this? This is intense.”

When the option of the Affordable Care Act became available, the Robinsons believed it was the answer to what they were looking for. Nick’s company didn’t offer health benefits and neither did Rachel’s position as a wedding photographer.

“I was like, ‘Oh, here’s the answer! This is simple!’” he told NPR. “‘It’s a cheaper insurance plan, there’s no pre-existing condition stuff.’”

But the Robinsons soon learned the HMO Blue Cross Blue Shield plan they pay about $375 each month for wasn’t quite what they expected.

For example, when it came to finding an obstetrician in Texas for their upcoming baby earlier this year, Rachel said she called all 28 practices listed as acceptable options for their plan, but could find none to take her as a patient.

“Some would just come right out and say, ‘We don’t take Obamacare,’” she said. ”Or the best one was, ‘The doctor takes it here at the actual practice, but whatever hospital you use … does not take that insurance.’”

NPR noted that there were practices that accepted HMO plans, but the doctors rotated and Rachel wanted a relationship with only one physician.

The Energy and Commerce Committee documents double the claims made in an Associated Press report released earlier on Wednesday, which found that according to a May 8 federal slideshow, 2.1 million Obamacare applications had “inconsistencies” in income, immigration and citizenship data.

Stupid?
 
STUPID is having 60+ million people, or about 20 percent of the U.S. population enrolled in Medicaid while telling us the economy is getting better.
 
STUPID is celebrating the fact that 20% of the population doesn’t have the means to take care of themselves.
 
STUPID is encouraging: Medicaid expansion, Jobless expansion, Food Stamp Expansion, Welfare Expansion, TAX Expansion, and  Nationalized healthcare expansion.
 
STUPID is believing that all of these expansions (constrictors of the economy) are good for this country.
 
STUPID is not asking the question:  Who is going to pay for this?
