I just heard on the TV news that the President will be approving E15 for use all year long.  >:( So keep your eye on the signs posted on those fuel pumps to make sure that you are not refilling with E15.   >:(  If you think that E10 is bad for your RE, you really don't want to fill up with that stuff.

Look, I have no problem with making E15 available. Sell 100% Ethanol Spew, for all I care. I just want the option of being allowed to buy what I want. Free Markets and all that. I mean, just because China threw up a tariff on ethanol and Trump felt he had to stroke off Iowa Senators Grassley and Ernst while Ted Cruz served as "towel boy" last Tuesday doesn't mean I should then have to  fill my carb bowls with their sploodge, right?


You'll use the ethanol, and you'll like it.

So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

Buying/using higher then recommended octane gasoline in unmodified engines only decreases the performance of your wallet!

87 octane ethanol since new.  Now over 16,000 miles.  I do add a bit of sta-bil and marvel Mystery oil from time to time.  Never have had a problem.  Fuel without ethanol almost impossible to find here in Kalifornia.  My C5 is so forgiving it would probably run on Chicken fat.
