Fuck E15. Garbage Gas is all it is. Shitty mileage & more mechanical issues. Had nothing but problems from E10 in my small engine equipment since they came out with that crap. Not like we are seeing equitable savings on it. Better to use it as feed.

Racing engines love it because ethanol is a high-octane fuel; pure ethanol has approximately 100 octane. But there's no getting around that ethanol's energy content is lower than that of gasoline, which means that more ethanol in a blend will decrease your fuel mileage. If you've got a scan tool that can show you long-term fuel trim, you can clearly see the difference between gas that contain ethanol and gas that doesn't in any modern car engine.

The Case for Gay Reparation
Other countries are taking steps to atone for their shameful past treatment of L.G.B.T. people. The United States should too.

iirc, Nazi germany was a real hotbed of gay bars/trans-cross-benders..

Personally, I always liked the Roman use for the gays: they used them in shock-assault Legions. ;-)

I never once claimed the fuel was good. I pointed out it would be a viable outlet for our farmers and even show them we really dont need China to sell our grains to. At the same time liberals eat that shit up so sell it all on the west coast and the rest of us will continue to use the real shit.

If any of yall have a Conoco gas station in your area, they are known to carry at many of their locations ethanol free gas :p Been buying from them for years when I was working.

higher octane = slower burning. that is why it prevents, or should I say, does not promote, detonation. but in a average car/truck, this is not what you want.

I remember when it first came out = my mileage dropped

Let the farmers turn it into everclear/moonshine, and solve the problem twice.

Let the goddamned megaplexes deal with switching to electric vehicles - they already failed at rail and even bicycles, let alone outrageous cab-prices - and apparently even busses.

What I recall of racing engines is: the ethanol use keeps temperatures lower and emissions are not toxic, but mileage is lower. <shrug>
