I've been using this Lucas product for quite a while. I use a couple of ounces for every 6 gallons of fuel. I started using it in my shovelhead because I can't find any non-corn gas around here and started using it later in my twin cam. Seems to work well. A bottle will treat a lot of fuel (80 gallons I think).
It's actually pretty simple, don't buy the E15. If your stupid enough to not do your research and use it in your vehicle then you have no one to blame but yourself. Kinda like the sign at McDonald's telling you the coffee is very hot. Use your brain.

its supposed to be labeled, and dispensed from a different pump. there should also be a sticker around stating that it is against federal law to dispense e15 into a vehicle that is not designed for it, and also the 'may void mfg warranty' info as well.
i don't know why they are pushing this **** so hard, there aren't gonna be that many people who can (legally) use it....

Problem is, the EPA will eventually force it on us. Last year I could buy 93 octane, now I am lucky to find 91 here. Soon it will be hard to find anything without ethanol.
If you stay up with the AMA, they have been advocating for motorcyclists on this issue over the last couple of months. In a single pump, multi-grade dispense unit, it would be hard to know how much E15 would make it into the gas tank even if you had not selected that lower grade. I might get the residual or more if I follow a person who purchased e15 before me eventhough I select a higher grade/lower ethonol product.
For a large car, this is not issue. For a 3-5 gallon tank, this is a major concern. There was talk of only allowing folks to fill up a minimum of 4 gallons, but the AMA advocates pointed out that that would be discriminatory against motorcyclists and small motor/gas tank buyers. Basically, we need a voice and someone that represents our perspective as this issue is addressed.
It might be worth writing letters and contributing to organizations that have our interests in mind.
I think it's a little dated. The station they list my me has been closed for 3 or 4 years. My brother-in-law is a dispatcher for a very large fuel trucking and delivery company. The only ones without ethanol in the fuel are a few marinas that order is special and pay through the nose for it.
