I'm concerned that the government is going to mandate E15 fuel sooner or later...we will possibly start to see it this summer according to Fox News this AM. Our engines are not really designed to run on anything greater than E10 are they? What are we to do? I don't want to have to put that crap in my tank. And as far as I know there aren't any gas stations that I have ever seen that sell straight gas. I know they exist but are few and far between. Additionally, it will make the mileage even worse!

We'll run just fine on E15, but I'm with you, I don't want that ****.

This will make the TD1 campaign look like a walk in the park. Regardless, this is going to be a heated battle, and a lot of ppl on the boards will be on one side or the other.

I for one, am against increasing the amount of Ethanol.

But those poor corn farmers need the money!

Using corn oil as fuel is a joke. It is less efficient, contributes to higher food prices, and is subsidized to boot. That said, I thought that gas stations will still be offering the E10 in conjunction with E15. There is a pure gas station nearby but I am concerned about putting in non branded gas.

Totally agree. I checked a site today that listed all pure gas stations in the country...over 5000 of them in the U.S. and Canada. Of course, the closest one to me in Texas is two hours away and like you stated many are off brand. I hope they still offer both...guess they would have to add some tanks and pumps.

E15 might what most people are using now, LOL! A lot of fuel out there sometimes have higher levels of ethanol in them due to inconsistent blending. I've seen it come up higher than 10% in some cases in the past, and we've checked the content due to a customer's driveability issue and found 12-15% in some cases, but lately, it's been right on the money at 10%. Worse case would be someone who misfueled a car with E85. Had two cars comes in with issues. Once was at 50% and the other was 80% ethanol.

I'm not a fancy phone guy, but my buddy has an "app" on his iphone that displays non-ethanol gas stations.

I think it's called "Puregas"

I ran E85 in my car which was an Evo. On 91 octane i was at 320WHP. On E85 i was at 383 whp. Same power as C16, but at pump gas prices. I don't see a problem with it.

C16 list price is around $18/gallon.

E85 is similar to 87 octane fuel pricing.....

It won't be once the subsidies expire.
