One of the "No Kings" protests was rather close to where I live, and yet I wasn't aware of it at the time so did not see it in person.

Seems that the people who take part in those -- who may favor actual tyrants like Maduro and Muslim terrorists -- are now trying to make you think the majority support those protests and that only a few disgruntled and defeated "MAGA types" oppose them. Like I said, seems it's always "gaslighting" and mind games when it comes to the SJW cultist.

They're doing a bad job then because I only see a few out on some street corners and they're always decrepit boomer liberals and overweight, unkempt millennials and get a paltry few honks from passing cars. For comparison when the nurses at the nearby hospital were on strike they had way more people out and about and were getting way more honks of support. Don't get me wrong I certainly don't think they're the only ones who hate Trump but they're certainly the only ones who care enough to mald in the streets about it.
 
Engine oils use overbased calcium sulfonates as additives to emulsify water and have the heat of the engine evaporate the water in the oil system. Whatever water gets mixed in with the ethanol is going to be vaporized by the heat of combustion.

Then why do people say that ethanol in gas corrodes cars? Are they just retards and I'm a retard by proxy for believing it?

I don't know much about the corroding stuff; but I do know it plays hell in the fuel system if it sets for very long. It sort of goes rancid in the tank, lines, and just rapes fuel pumps and fucks up seals and all the stuff inside carbs.

It's been an utter disaster for the folks that do what I used to do, and it's a good reason for a lot of folks like me just not doing it as much because it's not fun anymore.


To clarify for those folks don't get my newsletter (lol), I used to buy old cars from folks that gave up on getting them running, or gave up on "fixing them up". Still do it from time to time, but in the past 15 years or so it started with a fuel system draining, and often i had to replace lines, pumps, tanks and that shit is tiring.
 
Older cars can have sealants that are incompatible with ethanol.
How old are we talking here?

E85 plus its old alky gearhead lore.

If the guy lines up to you at the strip, fires it up, and your eyes start burning, you’re in deep shit. Very specific type of build with specialized components.

E15 does in theory get the “planned obsolescence” thoughts going, but experience doesn’t seem to bear it out.
