EPA To Allow E15 Fuel Sales Over The Summer To Lessen Gas Prices
Bad news for drivers! Alcohol is hydrophylic: it gathers water. More alcohol in gas = more water = more potential damage to fuel system.
As long as you don’t leave it in there for weeks or months it should be fine. I’ve been running 51-83% ethanol (E85) for the last nearly all 2 years and the beast is still ticking. it’s been throwing the catalyst inefficiency code a bit more when that’s in, but it’s also got 473,000 miles on the original engine too...
E15 isn’t as efficient as straight gas, so you’ll need more gas than normal for your normal weekly needs.
Why will this fix a gas shortage and lower prices?
