Are you really not aware of the reason that MTBE is being phased out? Have you seen the clean up costs to date for it? Here's a little report on MTBE that you might want to read

It costs more energy to produce than a gallon of gas. We don't have the facilities or capacity to produce ethanol for the MTBE that's being phased out. It can't be carried in pipelines and injected into the production process at the refinery like MTBE can. It has to be trucked to the refineries and mixed in from the tankers.

Now, do you want to know how many refineries, already running at capacity because we have not built a new one in 25+ years, are equipped to handle that new process, all the while changing over from winter to summer mix refining?!?!

You think gas is expensive now... just wait. Talk about a sellout to the Midwest corn lobby!

It just hit the Krogers here.
