Safety regulations are written in blood. There should be a long and careful process before any so-called improvements from modern technology are forced upon us. In making new kinds of gasoline, chemical engineers should really consider safety and ethics. And every one of them should first be required to study the humanities.

In this case, it has been a decades long process. But it's done now and the replacement fuel is available. Time to mandate the change.

Stop making guinea pigs out of normal people. Gasoline is a volatile substance. Just changing it willy-nilly without extensive testing is unethical. There's a reason the FAA hasn't certified it. Safety regulations are written in blood.
