If they start using that E15 garbage around here (and I’m sure they will, as many eco-mentalists as we have in this area), I just have to pray that it doesn’t finish off my 180,000-mile fifteen-year-old 5.2L Dodge V8 before I can afford to replace it. My gas mileage (what little there is of it) is already off because of E10.

I like how the crystal ball-gazers at the EPA just unilaterally decide that a 2001 engine can run on E15, and sod all what the manufacturer might say. Government by experts at its finest.

My dead ‘91 Town Car says this is a lie.
And a local gas station was forced to close down due to all the lawsuits they were slapped with by people whose car engines were ruined by the ethanol in the gas.

Republicans need to defund the EPA and start dismantling it.

I’m already getting a check engine light (oxygen sensor) every time the season mixture changes. There’s nothing wrong with the sensor, but there is too much oxygen in my exhaust.

Ethanol is an inferior fuel which gives me reduced fuel mileage as well as reduced efficiency (too lean a fuel mixture means that heat energy is being lost in oxygen in exhaust). Democrat idiots.

Maybe Congress should issue war bonds again. this time the $ goes to fund bio-fuel research and people like Harkin ,Grassley and Pawlenty can put their money where their big mouths are.

And all these patiotic farmers and farm pimps could invest and become overnight millionaires!!

That is NOT what my old. thanks to Obamarx, FORMER Chevrolet dealer told me a couple of months ago. He said to stay away from the E15 and any higher ethanol content.

Say goodbye to your two stroke outboards, chainsaws. Many boaters have experienced problems with the 10% mandated fuel soaking up water in as little as two weeks and their automotive based stern drives need major repairs. The recomendation is that one leave as little fuel as possible in the tanks and to fill only what they will consume in the two week time frame.

I won’t ever use it. I have one place I can still get straight gas without any ethanol in it.
