Idiots.

One little bit of good news - I read the first 4 pages of comments and they're 100% negative. The people are waking up! Lets hope they all vote.

Bad news as Ethanol is crap for your engine. Look at all the recent fuel leaks caused by ethanol. If they implement the 15% ethanol policy my next car will be a diesel! My mileage has dropped significantly since they mandated this crap over 100% real gas.

I'd probably switch to diesel too.  Been driving turbo car for last 4 years, there's no way I'm going to drive a hybrid.  Diesel would be a nice transition with the low end torque.  Not sure if I'm going to like having to shift at 4000 RPM.  Got spoiled driving a couple of cars with 8000 RPM rev limit.  :)

Too bad the BMW 335d only comes with an automatic and costs serious money over the 335i. Diesel is great, I had a Hi-Lux and that was diesel and the best truck I ever owned.
