The New Indian: A Test Ride in Review

It's the regulations that are forcing the price. Corn shortages occurred because the EPA mandated we make so many gallons of ethanol each year. 40% of the corn crop is made into alky as it is. The speculation on corn because of the mandate drove the prices up. I'll grant Obama one thing, at least he cut back on the annual quota for ethanol production last November. Seems we're stockpiled several million barrels that haven't even been blended into gas yet. But he's caught between two free market forces, each wanting more of the pie. If he cuts ethanol production, he's accused of selling out to big oil, but if he keeps it where it was, he's selling out to farmers. Either way the damn speculators win.

Just as long as the ethanol forces don't win the battle for E85 replacing E90 as we have it. That's going to be a disaster for engine manufacturers and consumers. Nothing but specifically designed engines will run very long on that crap. Chain saws and other small 2-strokes are already very adversely affected by the current crap gas.

I sorta agree but there is no reason for ALL the middle guys. When they started all the futures crap, they started manipulating the market. It may still be called a free market but it is absolutely controlled now. That is wrong!

EDIT:Hmmm. Looks like while I had breakfast my point was made.

They look nice. Saw one done that way at Donnie Smith.
