Imo, the ~10% isn't very good either, esp for cars/m'cycles that aren't used frequently...the proposed ~15% is even crummier. The car mfger's have slightly lined up 'against' the proposal, while at the same time saying they can/have redesigned their fuel and fuel delivery systems to accommodate the proposed increase.

Does not help if one has an 'older' car, and esp old m'cycles...
Gov't @ 'work', imo, and the ethanol 'injection' does little to nothing to really 'reduce' the oil consumption here in the US.

There are pages of stuff on the issue(s), if one GOOG's the topic.
