Perhaps late model cars can handle this, but my 2007 Buell motorcycle manual specifically says not to to use any fuel with greather than 10% ethanol content.

What will this do to my engine?!?!?

Frankly, there are always some people that ‘think’ their program should be bought by everyone without question. There is NO proof of any damage that gasoliine does to either the earth or the atmosphere. Someone has come up with another way to push their own agenda – without ANY proof, only conjecture – and have this drive that everyone ought to turn from their own error and believe the false imaginations of a few. There are more scientists disprove any damage to any part of our Universe than there are (the few imbeciles) who ‘think’ they can prove otherwise. Leave our world system alone and let’s get along with a good old system of a Democratic Republic, drill for oil, quit taxing small businesses – and big ones, for that matter. Quit bellyaching, you defeatists and let our Country alone to be what it really is: The best Country in the whole wide world. Besides, what gives you the idea that you’re ‘big enough’ to ruin ANYTHING that God has blessed – and created…and quit listening to that horrible open, festering wound – isn’t that a GORE?

Thanks for your “ear”…I pray your goal not only fails, but that our People will awaken and find out that we do not need more ’subsidized products’. We already pay more toward ethanol than it is worth – that’s before it hits the pump.

For the record, I personally like most of the comments I’ve seen already!!

Thanks!

The only problem with this is with older cars the late model cars can handle up to 25% ethanol.

“What would be gained by increasing the amount of ethanol from grain in motor fuel?”

As near as I can tell the gain would be an increased number of votes for politicians from corn-producing areas.

Forgive me please, but what are you thinking? Ethanol as motor fuel makes no sense whatever. It uses fossil fuel to produce, is expensive to transport and produces fewer BTUs than motor gasoline. What would be gained by increasing the amount of ethanol from grain in motor fuel?

What is the point?, is the government trying to get us to use more ethanol?

I’d be for E15, if E85 was reduced to E70-no more winter/summer variation

and

there was a way to opt out.

If a pump was going to offer E15, 87 R+M /2 regular fuel; then said pump should offer 5% ethanol 93 R+M /2 gasoline.
and mid-grade should be E10, 90 R+M /2
