It's not going to have a good ending for older vehicles.

Make sure you all pay attention at the pump, get E10 or pure gas. I would personally avoid E15 blends for my own cars.

E15 is supposed to be optional for everyone, it is to be sold alongside E10...

I'm not sure how this will be implimented, if at all. There's no way the EPA can force all fuel to be E85. That means stations will need to emplace additional tanks and pumps and that simply is not possible for many gas stations.

This is another attempt to remove older vehicles from the roadways. Unless you have the money and knowledge to modify your older vehicle in order to run this crap through its piping, you're reduced to finding places that will sell 10% or less gas.

We aren't Europe, China, or Russia. We need to see who votes for this crap, or endorses it, then vote them out of office...or vote out of office those that push these people to come up with these rules.

Ethanol is one of the biggest scams ever forced on the American people. What a load of crap.

Marvel Mystery Oil in the gasoline (according to the manufacturer) helps negate the harmful effects of ethanol.

So they say.

Know any manufacturer that tells you "The product I am selling is crap"?

According to them it helps lubricity issues. Guess what! A test done proved it made it worse.

I have no faith in these snake oils. As far as I am concerned, all the are there to do is to fleece the customer. I would never use it unless they have tests done at an accredited lab using standard test procedures. But there is a reason they don't and rely on testimonials by customers.

The Marvel M. Oil is a good light lube for sewing machines and other precision machinery of that type.
