(contrary to all the hooplah that ethanol fuels causing the fuel system to gum up and perish hoses etc)

Whilst I cannot vouch for the authenticity much like those misaligned urban legends regarding ethanol fuels this may well have been a clever scripted doco to promote the use of ethanol fuels which I believe the US govt has invested heavily in
