We in the north east have been living with it for many years, having been in the boating industry with contacts in many yards you do need to stop it. It not only reeks havoc with boats and vehicles it destroys fiber glass tanks. Think of the thousand of gas stations with federally mandated glass tanks, they have to replace all of them, you have to wonder who's making $$$ off all this stuff. There is no real benefit, there is proven loss of mileage, massive quantities of water used, tons of added pollution from the added pesticides and fertilizers plus the diesel fuel transport costs. I have been arguing this battle for years. Gasoline can be burned more efficiantly with better designed engines, electric is not the answer just look at the issues with transport of the battery products and the disposal when depleted. Sorry for the rant but I truly believe it is more of a detriment than anything else!
