From what I know of Inslee’s record, and what little I know of this bill, it stinks of political posturing and there is no way I could support it the way it is proposed. IF the lawmakers were REALLY concerned about the environment and “green house gases” they would be immediately working to ban ethanol in gasoline. Do you know of ANYONE that has been able to maintain their car’s mpg with ethanol? My 2005 DTS dropped from 26 to 24 mpg, increasing greenhouse gases, driving cost, and decreasing range. ( good reasons not to use it in planes or boats)
