get away with it, would they steal money out of your wallet? The crooks would steal it.But assuming ethanol is a legal mandate your case is a little more complicated. You're presented with an opportunity to recover for what you perceive as damage stemming from fuel with alcohol you are forced to use. While your situation is more nuanced, your motive and contemplated action is still that of a thief. (If only we could pick and choose the laws and benefits our government metes out. I think about this ever time I pay my taxes.) For the time being we live in a society of great wealth, opportunity and personal freedom built in no small part on a bedrock of honest behavior. How would things be different if the vast majority of us were crooks instead? IMHO your energy will be better spent changing the dominant political philosophy that foisted ethanol upon us (e.g. by educating your friends and associates) rather than ripping off the system that produced the life you enjoy. And the people who pay the bill for it, which after all is everyone who works for a living.
