  1. Can anyone say something more about the content? Does it have any relevant consequences for the war? Since I live in a country where it is standard that 10% ethanol is added as an alcohol, the change is worth news of course, but it is nothing special, dangerous, relevant to the course of the war, because it has negative effects,….? Or do I overlook something?

  2. Russians have been living the luxury of non-ethanol gas this whole time? Jelly. Even our premium is full of it – and is only 91.

  3. Mixing ethanol with alcohols like ethanol is quite common, isn’t it?

  5. Do we know what they’re making ethanol out of? Can they sustain this agriculturally on top of food?

    Edit: on top of food *and vodka*.

  6. What are they going to do about sudden Vodka shortages?

  8. They will be drinking straight from the nozzle at the petrol station forecourt!

  11. Hell, you could already get high huffing gas, now they are telling RUSSIANS it has alcohol in it?

    Going to be even harder to get gas if they think they can drink it.

  12. In Russia? I bet only a tiny fraction of alcohol passes “quality control” process, the rest would have to be “disposed of” by volunteers. We are talking about a country where there was a mass-poisoning incident caused by drinking bath oil (Irkutsk 2016).

  15. Vodka? In the gas?

    That can’t be good for an engine.

  17. Similar to our Ethanol? They’re going to”Green”!!

    (/s)

  18. Just wait till vodka factories start blowing up!!!

  19. They’ll be selling “10% ethanol” gas, but it’ll actually be zero percent ethanol because the refineries will sell and or drink the ethyl alcohol.

  21. This just in, clinical depression in Russia has reached record highs.

    In a totally unrelated turn of events, brain damage from huffing petrol fumes is also at record highs.

  22. Funny story here. There is a professor at URI who teaches Russia and the Baltic States since the Soviet union. He makes his students read “Russia today ” as primary sources, some of which were written by him. The students are like, dude, this is straight up Kremlin propaganda.

  23. If Ukraine really wanted to make the Russian people suffer they would bomb the vodka plants.

  24. Given the corruption, expect that dilution to be way past recommend levels and engines getting wrecked in mass
