Re: Rut Roh E-15 soon
Wont happen. Here is the problem, it absorbs moisture, are you going to replace fuel systems every 5 years? What are they going to do for serious collector cars that are not driven yearly, allow the moisture to corrode the everything metal from the inside out? Some collections out there have to be in the 100's of millions. Do you think those owners are going to let this happen? While E15 will be processed for morons that will use it E5 will always be readily available.
This is just a gimmick as E85 was, cost per gallon was less at the pump. but, fuel consumption went up, grocery went up because the feed corn that would have been used for agricultural means was used to produce **** gas.

Re: Rut Roh E-15 soon
It will ruin your fuel system...without a doubt. It will also have a negative impact on your fuel economy. It will make food prices go up. I hate this crap.

Re: Rut Roh E-15 soon
We (as in we Americans) can't do any better than this? Internal combustion engines are over 100 years old. A 1972 Honda Civic got 50 mpg. Have we forgotten how to do that? We can put a man on the moon, or at least we used to be able to, but we can't do any better than 25 or mpg in our cars. I think there might be something wrong. Thank you for listening, I feel a little better now.
