Hopefully it is a joke, or at least the 93 octane stuff won't contain it...
I use the 93 octane stuff in my aircraft and I can't use any fuel with
alcohol in it...

I've been hearing some ramblings for over a month here. The only date I
had heard previously was sometime in April. The folks just S. of me in
Houston have been gearing up for a while I was told. I was also told it was
one of those "under the cover of darkness" issues so as not to get too much
attention and resistance before it was in the marketplace. As usual, it
could all change with the wind, and it's blowing hard today.

No joke unfortunately. They are talking about mandating alcohol in fuel
in Canada too or at least in Ontario in the next couple years.

It is total -------- about the older engines. The crap eats gas lines,
the carb float needles go bad and I lose over 25% in mileage and have
no power over 60 mph when I run alcohol mix. Even my owners manual
states 'not' to use the junk.

I mean I go from over 350 miles per tank of gas down to 250 miles at
best with alcohol mix.

Great stuff, it is more expensive and we use Way more of it when mixed.

My bro-n-law, that has his own fleet of diesels, told me that the diesel
mixture ill be changing also resulting in about 60 cent increase.
