Wrong on every count.  The new gasoline doubles the amount of formaldehyde as 
a result of burning MTBE the oxygenate in the new fuel.  That's a suspected 
carcinogen.

The oil companies own studies show that when you consider you have to burn 
more gas to go the same distance that the amount of pollution is a push. In 
cas you weren't aware there is less energy in the gas than the conventional 
gasoline.

Don't believe everything the ecofreaks tell you.
