Far more than that. Many gaskets and seals, and even the valve seats (ethanol burns differently causing the valves to face more force, and it can also leave an acidic/corrosive residue that can eat metal, especially valve seats).
Even if it was always easy to physically access/replace those parts on every car (which it often isn't), that still has no connection to it being cheap or even possible. You can bet there are cars out there for which they don't even make an ethanol-safe equivalent component (fuel pump or whatever). Then on cars with ECUs you have to get into whether the ECU can even handle the ignition timing differences that Ethanol causes.
Yes I totally agree about the emergence of the truly wierd global phenomenon of how the sheeple are demanding to be oppressed more. It mus tbe some kind of wierd Stockholm Syndrome thing.
As far as I'm aware, the new legislation only requires UK ISPs to record what you're doing. I don't think they've gotten to the point of actively doing anything based on that data yet but I can see that as being a logical next step, and a pretty small one. No doubt it won't be long before some clueless muppet in government will claim everyone using any kind of encryption must necessarily be doing something illegal and/or child pornographers who must be stopped at any cost because THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!.
How do you know? There are plenty of companies that are already complicit to the government and lying about it.
Besides, even if your ISP isn't secretly already giving it to the government they already have access to everything you do so are already in a position of trust. If anything this is a good thing because there's now another layer (your ISP) between your data and the government.
What part of "theyve already been gathering this info for years" are you not getting? All this is doing is possibly offloading some of that effort onto ISPs.
Killing yourself just because of a shitty job (that you could just quit from) strongly suggests his mental process/values are pretty fucked up, so maybe he actually also isn't a good employee.
What they're not telling you is that a higher Ethanol mix such as E85 seriously fucks up pre-2011 engines. It eats through plastics and seals commonly used in most production model motors prior to 2011. If you car is older than 2011, expect way more expensive visits to the repair shop coming your way.
The law doesn't change anything. They've already been doing all this stuff for years, and more probably since its not been under any control. At least now its out in the open and controlled/limited by visible laws. And now that its out in the open people can start viably fighting against it.
Just sounds like more fake propaganda from Hillary fans that are still pissy that they couldn't force everyone else to buy into their brainwashing and SJW agenda.
I'm sure they'd have security/bodyguards hidden off to one side anyway not specifically for Clakrson. It seems more than a bit ridiculous to have a "conflict resolution expert" there.
I doubt very much that he'd do it again, but from watching the first episode last night it seems clear that thankfully, any remaining BBC peeceeism is now out the window and the boys are finally allowed to be their true selves. Given that I'd be surprised if Amazon would give a shit if Clarkson did punch someone else. It seems that they'd actually be more concerned about getting it on film to include in the next show.
Agreed, me too. I Joined Amazon Prime yesterday just to watch TGT, but will only renew when there's new TGT content, because the rest of their content, almost without exception looks like low-budget low-IQ shit.
I agree that GT is awesome but can't agree with you on the Evans version of TG. It WAS bad. VERY bad.
TG only has one capable car-show presenter among them and thats Chris Harris. With the possible exception of Sabine, the rest can't drive half as well, don't know half as much about cars and are painfully dull and boring.
Since the BBC are apparently about to cluelessly fuck up yet again and give season 2 to the remarkably un-funny Joey from Friends, it seems TG is destined to be an ongoing disaster of shit shows, dissapearing reputation and budget, and the most dismal presenters being cycled out, until the BBC finally get an actual clue and give Harris the top spot, probably by then far too late for him to do actually anything to save it.
I watched the first epsiode last night. Personally I think it was brilliant but you'd better be careful to avoid accidentally seeing any of it, because I can already see how it will have sensitive little flowers like you running for your safe spaces because of its even more non-peecee content.
Seems like the Democrats and media are doing all they can to set up a meme about fake news being everywhere just as an escape route, right before Trump gets in office and follows through on his promise of draining the swamp.
Agreed. I only have Windows installed at all for gaming reasons. I wish games developers would take Linux more seriously then I could blow Windows away entirely.

I honestly don't care. Besides Its going to make for some very boring reading if they do. Mostly just a bunch of youtube, facebook and slashdot stuff.

Agreed but it always has been.

Just another pathetic liberal whiner.

(USA Today have themselves declared that they are politically biassed:

)
...and your tiny brain cant even handle that possibility so you need to personally insult people
..that Clinton who is already proven to be corrupt could only rig the paper ballot states.
If that person deserved to be thumped they should be. His only mistake was doing it while still at work.
I'm sure they'd have security/bodyguards hidden off to one side anyway not specifically for Clakrson.

You're a clearly a nutjob.
I'm guessing that you can thank HTC Vive and Oculus Rift for most of that bubble.
Bullshit statement considering he's not even been inaugurated yet.

Speak for yourself. I often binge-watch old TG seasons.
...and this another great example of why Political Correctness needs to hurry up and die like every other stupid fad.
Agreed, me too.
