Do I need to buy a new Yaris by 2013?
I live in Minnesota and the state has a new law mandating an ethanol level of 20% starting in 2013! As far as I know my 2008 Yaris is only made to handle up to 10%. My other newer vehicles are all 'flex-fuel' and the components are designed to handle up to 85% ethanol.
Will 20% eat up the organic components in my 2008 Yaris? Yes...I know that my mileage will also drop like a rock! And I am contemplating buying replacement lawn tractor, chain saw, etc. etc. I am looking at thousands of dollars of replacement costs and higher grocery bills just so the local farmers can double corn prices again. |
