Ethanol doesn't move your car. It's there as a component to reduce greenhouse gas emission. In many older cars it's bad for the engine. It's also why a full tank of gas doesn't get you as far as it once did. As cars become more climate friendly, is this even necessary?

The bottlenecks won’t get any better. Refineries cost too much to build and the time/regulatory requirements no longer align with the long term viability. The only solution is increased throughout of exiting refineries through turnarounds.
