Excellent Video on the Current Ethanol. E15 is coming. Warranty voided on 2012 and earlier vehicles..

Best explanation of the current, and near future, of Ethanol in the US that I have seen.

Great. It'll fry my car and raise my grocery bill.

Pretty much.

I have been against E10 for years.  My truck gets about 3 more miles per gallon on straight gas then E10.  I tested that enough to know.

 

OK, fine I have an old truck but I like it.

All my cars still use non-ethanol gas. Damned corn is food!

It should be a requirement to own an old pickup, a lot of times we don't want to drive the cars anywhere there's a lot of foot traffic for fear someone will scratch the paint , or ding it... If they do it to the S10, it'll just blend in with all the other damage :lol:

Ethanol does hurt mileage, among other things. The BMW gets around 30 on the highway with the non-ethanol and 26-27 with

the grain added. The difference in price is almost a wash if you're careful. There never was anything but evil with that ethanol bill.

Gas prices stayed the same and food prices are still increasing. Thank you, Barry!

I've been running on about E40 to E50 for many years... guess my warranty is shot!?

 Now that's funny.

The ethanol is seriously corroding the INSIDE of gas lines on boats. You can't see the damage on the outside. Fuel filters clog up, engines run like crap. I predict a lot of people with older vehicles will be changing fuel lines.

E10 is not good on small engines like lawn mowers.

My thoughts exactly.  I have a 1990 Ford ranger, it doesn't let me down.  It is dirty and the paint is old but it gets me there and back.

 

Often when going to busy places I take it instead of my wife's car for the very reason you listed.

It's bad for any engine to set that's uses E10,  it can gum up an engine.

this sucks..........
