The fact that leaded gas is bad isn't an opinion. And asbestos does cause cancer. Dismissing facts as "someone's opinion" just because they haven't impacted you personally is both naive and dangerous.

My father died from mesothelioma 5 years ago. He knew it was coming long before that since he was an insulator that worked heavily with asbestos.

JD, Macster's posts are almost always based upon facts.
Facts are not opinions.
It is common to disagree about opinions, but by definition a fact is incontrovertible with no possibility of disagreement.
Almost always, facts are a more safe thing to trust and believe in than someone's opinion.
I think I understand where you are coming from because I sometimes do certain things and use products that I know full well have been proven wrong, barely effective, or even completely ineffective by testing and research.
It's not logical, but I continue to do them anyhow. I get it.

But, it seems unwise to argue against facts using only opinions or even anecdotal evidence.

At work we refer to motorcyclists without helmets as "donorcyclists". Good for the organ donation business. So if you are going to ride without a helmet just make sure you are an organ donor.

Well, I filled up with ethanol free gas this weekend. It was $3.60 a gallon. The Pcar seems to have a little more pep as for gas mileage, well, I haven't been able to keep my foot off pedal so I don't think I will get good mileage this tank.

I have to drove to Va next month and will see what I get on the the trip.
