Sad to hear about the E15 crap, will be watching for it.
I run the E10 now without problem, but my "Winter mix" for the 'King and small engine stuff is one ounce of Seafoam per gallon of gas. Over the winter I keep 5 ounces of Seafoam stashed on the 'King for fill ups while out on rides.
Prevention, I guess, but I think the E-gas is for the birds...

Sounds pretty condesending. I think alot of us fear all the fuels going to E 15. not putting it in when both are available

Actually it's condescending, and that wasn't my intent. But now that you brought it up my point is this. Someone jumps on the dooms day band wagon about this E15 and then all of a sudden everyone is assuming it's going to be everywhere. Do you really think that this is going to be the only fuel available in the near future? Wholly crap people,

I agree, but how long do you think it will be before they change the standard from E10 to E15?

Kind of funny that they say it's all about saving the environment.
It's all about green, but it's the type you can spend not nature.

I remember when compact cars like the Civic Hatchback got well over 50mpg with a standard engine. Now they struggle to get that even with Hybrids.
