and express our concern for the use of E15 gasoline. Many reports out there about what it will do to our motorcycles so check out this report about a bill getting ready to go to congress and then at the bottom click on it and send your representative a email about it to support this bill. It affects us all so don't just sit by and let our passion get taken from us. Just be sure to change the zipcode on the link to your address.

I sent mine in....let's all do our part. They need to concentrate on getting this country back on track and stop involving themselves is side-track BS like this bill.

Join the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association). They have been on the fight with this since it started. As well as the Loud pipes ban, motorcycle only checkpoints and the lead ban that kept kids off of dirt bikes.

Sent mine too. I have a station or 3 around me that sales only E0. Costs about $.10 more per gallon. I get no better mileage from it over E10. I hope everyone on this site does this.

Our stations that sells ethanol gas charges the same $$ as the ones that don't have it.

I did use it several times last summer, but I did loose 3-4 mpg every time I filled up with it..

Another issue is the ethanol will rot U hoses inside the tank.. I and 2 other friends had to replace them this yr, Wrench claims the problem is the ethanol gas, as most dealers are seeing the pinhole in the gas line more than ever.
The boating guys are saying and having the same Issue with their gas lines.
