Corrosion/oxidation to metal parts, deteriorates rubber seals & fuel lines. Requires a richer fuel mixture to burn, so you may save a liitle money in the cost per gallon, but with less fuel economy it may cost you the same or more.

As far as the car companies go, they are probably getting kick-backs, tax breaks or something out of the deal.
