i think you mean ethanol. I know they are increasing the percentage from e10 to e15, but that is going to make the quaility worse since the ethanol in e10 is terrible as it is. I can't imagine what is going to happen when we have to run this crap and have all kinds of problems. Does that mean we can sue for not having access to the correct fuels anymore?

Honestly, with the present administration, I don't see that it would do you any good. They ignore the law and judges all the time. They can't pass these things as bills so they either go through as a mandate from the EPA or Obummer "passes" yet another Presidential order.

Is it a requirement to have an IQ below 50 to be Republican?
The issue has to do with the fact that the gasoline in the pump beyond the mixing valve is what was purchased by the person that pumped before you. This equates to several gallons in the line. So if you pump 87 octane; but I pumped 93 octane just before you... your getting several gallons of 93 octane in the mix.

So, it's a good thing then when the guy ahead of us buys the new 15% ethanol crap and we get a few gallons in our tank? Ethanol is crap. It may run a little cleaner but I lost 2 mpg as soon as they went over to the 10% mix.
The point I'm making is they just come along and mandate these things without a care for how it effects the end consumer. They are either loose cannons or are deliberately trying to bring the economy down. And this present EPA has shut down farms in California by taking away their water. They cut the normal usage to 10% and the farmers ended up in food lines because their crops were failing. They are over-regulating and causing problems all across the country.
His Transportation Secretary, Stephen Chu, has stated he wants our gas prices to be the same as Europe's. How's that for helping the middle class. It's fun having a President who's policies have contributed to our gas being near $4.00 a gallon again.
And I scored 147 out of a possible 150, how about you? Just asking.
The lie that the Democratic Party is for the middle class is getting bigger every year. Who raises my fees for doing business here in Mass.? Who raises my taxes even though property values have gone down? Who said, no drilling in ANWAR even though the unions in Alaska want the work? But, people will go on blindly voting for the liberals anyhow. And you question my IQ?
How about we all check to see if the politicians running for office vote the way, we the people, would like them too. Stop believing the media bias and read how he or she voted on the issues near and dear to our hearts. I'm a conservative. I was in a Republican Town Committee and our chairwoman was running for office. I asked her about her views and her views were more liberal than the Democrat I ended up voting for. I'm not blindly party loyal. How about you?
Typically, it's the liberals who want to see trail systems closed, not the conservatives. The fringe left, environmentalists, are our worst enemies as far as keeping trails open. Look at what's happening in Northern NH where they are trying to interconnect trail systems. Who's opposing it? Liberal groups. Who wants to tell you what vehicle you should or should not be driving? With all apologies to Al Gore, a Prius doesn't quite hack it when I need a lift of 2x4s. (Funny how he jets around the world for his lectures, and has a 5000 sq. ft. energy wasting house, and is driven around in Chevy Suburbans.)
What party is most interested in taking away our guns? What President and Secretary of State want us to sign on to the UN Gun Treaty Accord, that would strip our rights away as US citizens? Hint, it's not GW and Condaliza Rice.
Who wants us to stop hunting because they equate animals to people? It's not the republicans.
So, is it a requirement to have an IQ below 50 to support liberals and then wonder why our trails get closed?
If you had just said the issue was that there are typically 4 gallons of whatever the last guy pumped I wouldn't have bothered getting into it. Thanks for the insult. Great fuel!!!

They are allowing the pumps to have E10 and E15. And if you had bothered to understand the issue rather than policitally ranting; then I wouldn't have had to.
And if you really think its the 'liberals' creating problems for ATV riders in the North Country; you might want to check into that issue just a bit further.

I'm guessing that everyone looked up the truth?

Well, Its the locals worried about federal ownership of more property within the Wildlife Reserve. The State needs to trade parcels; and that trade is being ensnared in the wording whereas the parcels are considered sold and purchased.
Its also a question over costs of maintenance in ratio to benefit... Since VT registered ATVs will be using the system, but will not be helping fund the system. That comparison has to be general economic benefit to the region. And because of the limited period of usage, questions as to whether that benefit will be borne out by the costs.

Not sure if we're talking about the same proposed connector. I read it a couple months ago and for the life of me, can't locate the story. There was a parcel of land that part of a new trail system connector would be on. A "conservancy" group was actively trying to buy the property with the purpose to permanently close motorized vehicle access that would effectively make the trail useless. I can't even remember wear I read it. Might have been on a Can-Am forum but couldn't find it...

Its the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. The federal government owns a piece of property that the proposed trail connector will travel across. The State of NH-DRED wishes to swap a parcel that it owns for the land that the trail connector will cross over.

How is it looking? I've been up in Northern Maine where they have tremendous connectivity in their trail systems. I'd love to see NH get to that point too but realize things with landowners don't often go well either. I'd hate to see it get blocked.

It will end up going through. But NH doesn't get that its competing with Maine. We've been competing with maine for roughly a decade; and while Maine has only lost a small number of snowmobile registrations, NH has collapsed more than 25%. If they use the management for the quads; the same thing will happen.

UL has an article on the TPL being able to sell its land to the federal government, so the State should be able to make the transfer for the trail corridor any time now.

If they use the management for the quads; the same thing will happen. They should figure things out soon if they don't want to be left behind. If I go up to Berlin it takes me 3.5 hours to get there from Northern Mass. I can get up to Waterboro, Maine in 2 hours. From there we've gone as far north as midway up the western shore of Lake Sebago. If they ever get the southern trails connected up the way the northern trails are it's going to just get better. Just on that trip alone (about 40 miles, each way) there is the opportunity to access gas stations and food at 2 different points along the trail. It's very nice.
