E10 is a waste of corn for food production, is inefficient to produce, and does not increase mileage.

E15 already is, and will cause untold damage to pre-2012 model engines and fuel systems.

The EPA scam continues.

Why do people keep repeating this misconception? The corn used for ethanol is NOT for human consumption. Humans could not stand to eat it. It is corn grown specifically to feed cattle and produce other products.

When corn is processed through an ethanol product. The starch, which cattle do not need, is converted to ethanol. The byproduct is distilled grains which is basically enriched cattle feed. The corn is only borrowed for a while to produce ethanol before it is fed to cattle. There are many reasons to complain about US ethanol policy, but saying it is a waste of food is BS. Guess who started the fuel for food rumors? If you said the oil companies, you would be correct.

I just purchased from Dealer a used 2012 car that will accept E10 and E15. I don’t like the ethanol gas and so I asked the head of the service dept if I could use the pure gas in my new car. “Huh? I wouldn’t. Not a good idea” he said. I did more research and found out that any gas engine can use pure gas.
