We are not against progress, but we are against being forced into a policy that ignores real people, real vehicles, and real hardships. In the name of ethanol blending, ordinary middle-class families are being pushed into higher costs, uncertain vehicle performance, and the fear of expensive repairs. A fuel policy should support the people, not burden them.

Ethanol production also raises serious concerns about the wasting of precious water at a time when every drop matters. Why should water-scarce communities pay the price for a transition that may not suit everyone equally? A cleaner future cannot come at the cost of reckless water use and the suffering of citizens.

This issue is especially painful for owners of old, vintage, and classic cars and bikes. These machines were built with care, history, and engineering that deserve respect, not damage from forced fuel changes. Many two-stroke bikes, old motorcycles, and heritage vehicles can suffer reduced performance, corrosion, and breakdowns because of E20. We demand choice, fairness, and dignity for every vehicle owner keep ethanol-free and lower-blend fuels available for those who need them.
