Re: E 15 gasoline?
I've been trying to preach the exact same things she talks about for years--it happens with E10 too. I wish this wasn't a Fox clip, because their credibility has taken a few hits, but everything mentioned in it is true. We will, in addition, get crystallized crud in our float bowls, as a result of the reactions the ethanol has with most materials.
Maybe with AAA issuing the warning the Environmentalists will have to concede to the Ecologists for a change. Everyone, pass this on to everybody you know. This is even damaging late and current model cars, and check out what the clip says about warranties!

Anything with Ethanol in it is bad! We are stuck with it in most cases. You can buy non ethanol gas, but its over $4 per gallon in my area.

Re: E 15 gasoline?
I can get non-ethanol for about 20 cents more here. I have started running only it in my truck.

Re: E 15 gasoline?
I've been using E10 in my '64 VW for years and 50K+ miles. It's not a big deal if you don't let it sit any length of time and keep a check on the flexible hoses periodically. Dad's '57 has sat for over 6 months at a time with E10 treated with Sta-Bil and it always starts right up. No corrosion or gunk problems, the alcohol keeps they system really clean. I think the problems most people have are from letting their vehicle sit with untreated gas- bad idea if it's E10 or pure gasoline.

Re: E 15 gasoline?
Most of the gas stations around here has 10 to 20% Ethanol mixed in with the gasoline which decreases the fuel mileage on our daily drivers.
Ethanol mixture does more harm than good. http://spectator.org/archives/2010/0...ssic-cars-dont http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money...utos-epa_n.htm http://www.ehow.com/facts_6181349_ef...-old-cars.html http://www.mossmotors.com/SiteGraphi...s/Ethanol.html Sta‑Bil Fuel Stabilizer & Octane Booster
