Easier said than done when there's a global fuel shortage too!

"Ethanol contains about one-third less energy than gasoline. So, vehicles will typically go 3% to 4% fewer miles per gallon on E10 and 4% to 5% fewer on E15 than on 100% gasoline." [0]
I think Ethanol in gas is stupid and I always tank up with E0 when I can (it's available in some parts of New Hampshire... not sure about your state).
5. Stop using private vehicles so much in favor of public transport + bicycles.
Et voila, no more fuel shortage.
... of course, this is even more easier-said-than-done for the US :-(
Also:
"In a recent survey, 99% of respondents felt everyone else should use public transit"
I'll concede that there's a point there. However - the world states with the best covid "performance" in terms of deaths/capita etc. have much better developed and widely used public transport systems.
