If you're driving a classic car in the middle of a gas crisis, you kinda deserve it, imo. Those things are about the only thing more inefficient than a jacked up pavement princess.
Edit: learned that "classic" has a much broader definition than I thought. Oops.
Did I say "fuck people with slightly older cars"?
I was specifically responding to op complaining about affecting classic cars. It sucks that your slightly older car might be affected by this, but don't jump into the shade and pretend I threw it at you.
"Classic car" isn't just some vibe. It's literally a legal term for cars of a certain age. Depending on the country it refers to >15, >20 or >25 years old cars. That means you can have a relatively fuel efficient car that is considered a classic car.
The first Toyota Prius came out 1997 (29 years ago) and would be considered a classic car today.
thanks for using Leebra!

I don’t think many people on here are into classic cars much, but if they allow more ethanol in gas that’s going to fuck up a pretty large amount of classic cars. Modern fuel lines are plastic to deal with the ethanol and impact resistance. before that we used rubber, and the current widely used (cheap) replacement fuel hose tolerates ethanol at the levels we had well enough for a few years.
So there’s a decent chance this would burn down a bunch of cars (and boats) when the fuel lines dissolve from the ethanol and start spilling gas.
