Are You Listening, Boat Anchor Manufacturers?

Check out this Des Moines Register article about how boat engines are being destroyed by using E15 gasoline in them (E15 is gasoline with 15% ethanol instead of the usual 10%).

So, let us get this straight...the government wants to offer a fuel that can't be put in small engines or any vehicle manufactured before 2001?  In order to placate the oil companies and the farmers?  Really?  How would this make sense to anyone but Congress (whose approval rating dropped to 9% last week because of stunts just like this)?

But, on the bright side, you could use your wrecked boat or car motor as an anchor.  Until the boat anchor industry wises up and starts chuckin' some cash around DC...
