E 15 gasoline
 
So pleased to hear that E15 gasoline will be available this summer. Whoops my car and a lot of other cars won’t run on E15.

E10 is bad enough, I prefer the E Zero.

Vote people, get out and vote

Most modern cars will adjust (via the computer) for E15.

Does the ballot say E15, yes or no?

As I understand it, your mileage will be reduced by ethanol, I am not posting ( or posing) as an expert.

Ethanol contains about one-third less energy than gasoline. So, vehicles will typically go 3% to 4% fewer miles per gallon on E10 and 4% to 5% fewer on E15 than on 100% gasoline."...

Just be thankful you’ll be able to get any gasoline

I am wondering if the use of E15 will have any effect on a vehicle's warranty????

Or a golf cart warranty, all of these state E10 gas.......

I am not sure that I would make this a determinate for whom I vote, since I have a diesel. . . or otherwise. Am thinking this is a minor issue. . .

Both my vehicles state they can run on E15. However, my cart specifies E10. Not sure how E15 would affect the warranty on my cart but I would rather not find out.

I hope this newest move simply means that E15 will be available where E15 is normally available in the winter and all our E10 pumps will be unchanged.

The owners manual for my 2021 Santa Fe says not to use e15 because it could damage your engine and decrease your power. I will follow that. It also says use of e15 could affect the warranty

Doesn't it read: Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol?

E15 contains 15% or less ethanol and so would not seem to conflict with the guidance in the manual.

No, it reads that the Santa Fe is not suitable for e15 gasoline because it could damage your engine

It seems you won't have to worry too much about it because most stations likely won't have it for quite a long time and by then it will probably be moot anyway.

E15 fuel is available only "at a few thousand pumps today," but said the U.S. will invest $100 million in biofuel infrastructure. E15 gas is currently available at about 2,300 fueling stations, according to the Department of Energy.

Even Uncle Sen. Chucky G is happy about it (read his Twitter posts) because it will make all his farmers happy and even the last guy ordered it available year round but the courts shut it down and even The Supremes refused to hear it so it can't be all bad. ;)
