Not that it matters, but I'm a practicing attorney and there are plenty of people who say we have enough litigation already.

There are some good points made above in this thread regarding the reasons we have ethanol in the first place. Gov't mandates, Agribusiness lobby, farm subsidies, oil conservation, etc. My guess is that you'd have to sue them all to figure out whose fault it is.

You could also sue them for removing Tetraethyl lead back in the 1970s because it damaged your valve seats. You could sue them for not removing it sooner because it poisoned our environment.
You could sue them for not issuing warnings until recently that gasoline is carcinogenic.
You could sue your component manufacturers for not being prepared for ethanol fuels.
You could sue everybody for everything.

Now, can we talk about old Fords again?
