It's hard to narrow it down to just one reason, the poll needs the "check all that apply" option.
My list would be in no particular order: octane, the smell, cleaner, renewable, ^%$ the middle east, and we need to support our own economy and fellow americans.

I want the option: My car runs lots faster on it.
And its not the octane which makes the cars run better. Its the cooling effect of ethanol. |

I should've had the option:
"It helps me get dates with counter-culture/vegan-types of women by being socially and environmentally conscious. Next I'll grow dreads and paint my car in groovy colors." |
