To add insult to injury, the fossil fuels and carbon footprint to produce the ethanol in E-10 is greater than had the E-10 not been in the fuel to begin with. i.e. fertilizer for the corn, fuel and equipment to plant, harvest, process, deliver the corn and manufacture the E-10. On top of that I can only imagine how much gasoline with E-10 is disposed of, properly or improperly each year because it performs so poorly after such a short period of time.
