Years before The Auto Channel and I jumped into the ethanol vs. gasoline fray, Doug Durante and Burl Haigwood were doing the heavy lifting to try to make America and the world a healthier and safer place. Gasolinegate provides extensive and significant background in understanding what should have happened and why it didn’t. I consider this to be essential reading.

This book is a long overdue wakeup call that alerts Americans to the invisible, pervasive, and extremely lethal nanoparticles they and their children are forced to breathe in on a 24/7 basis, with no means of escape. In fact, contrary to EPA’s assurances, modern advanced engine designs make these lethal emissions even worse unless the compounds are replaced. Doug and Burl provide a roadmap for how to put an end to the enormous social and economic damages imposed by gasoline Benzene compounds.
