I posted about this in June '09 (General Automotive - got ONE reply) and again in July '09 (Towing - no one who replied said the EPA was being notified); I expected a heck of a response to this but got zippo, which is a shame considering the # of people on here who could've voted against E15. If it passes..........oh well, I tried.

Here in OK, most stations sell E10. There are a few that sell 100% gasoline, and they get my business.
My 1990 MPI Nissan truck takes a 15% hit on MPG with E10. That's 5% more gasoline, not incluing the 10% ethanol "filler" that is wasted.
My old F150 doesn't suffer from any MPG drop on the E10, but I still avoid running it as much as possible. E10 is bad, but walking is even worse........

Last chance to kill E15; go to BoatUS.com: Government Affairs and ask your Senators/Rep to support this bill. I posted this in the Towing Forum also and got 58 hits and exactly ZERO replies; guess this isn't a big deal until AFTER the EPA approves E15 and people start yelling "How could this happen!"
