Wow, lots of choices. Maybe Ive just been oblivious but Im not aware of any E15 being offered here in Texas. Maybe its just offered in the northern climates?

Chill out.
The arrangement I described is not widespread. I bought the Ranger brand new; didn’t see an E85 pump for about 15 years. However, I have only ever seen E85 and E15 in an arrangement like that. Never as an outright substitute for the usual three blends of E10.
Sorry - the “2 strikes” nomenclature had me going...
he we are cool. I just have two little problems with Trump. With the Rats I have a million big Problems.
