I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

So you guys are trying the ethanol. well some cars are not designed to run well on the corn syrup. over here in canada some oil companies have started to introduce 10% ethanol to fuel. so called to reduce green house gas's. what crap more like to make more money out of us poor sod's. also they dont say that ethanol if left stored will absorb water from the regular fuel and enviroment. there are very strick guidelines for this product.

at this time i would not mind if you sent over your crappy fuel as Ontario is going through a fuel shortange and getting worse by the day. the oil companies have incressed the price of fuel to try and stop people buying it. two weeks ago a fuel refinery in torornto went on fire and caused a panic. due to the suppply shortage from this one refinery we are now in the latter stages of fuel rationing. the genral public are not being told this . all they see if the many fuel stations closed out of fuel.
last week i was hauling fuel from montreal as the only place to get product, now they are short. two days ago one of our driver had to drive to quebec city to get fuel. that's 10 hr's driving return trip. not good. last night i was locked out of loading fuel and had to go home early.
this is now effecting esso,shell and other refineries. so please send you crappy fuel over here.

I can see the funny side, James. Your Dad said that if he and you both got petrol from the same place, one of you could be OK and one of you not OK. The funny bit being that you haven't even GOT a car! Am I right?
