New 6.8 not flex fuel?
I was under the impression that all of the 6.8l were flex fuel. My new 2025 has a black gas cap stating E10-E15. It's not a big deal just curious what others have seen or if anyone knows the reason for the change?

I detest the Ethanol infused fuel that is so common place these days. They get lower MPG and thus lower range on a tank, less shelf stable, and overall an inferior fuel to run than regular gasoline. When I drive or tow a load I don't care if some wannabe amateur drag racer wants to taut the "muh high octane" aspect, I care about range. Whenever I can fuel up at pure gas stations I can tell the motor runs happier and I get about 5-10% better mpg without doing anything extra, on a 48 gallon tank that difference adds up quickly to about an extra 60 or so extra miles a tank before I need to stop.

The ethanol-blend fuel is such an incredible farce, in very nearly every aspect.

Subsidies for corn production is a national tradition at this point. The close presidential election results in Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin ensure no party wants to rock the boat.

Farmers are not the deciding factors in those states. There are far less farmers than opposite minded individuals in high population density areas in those states that could care less about corn subsidies.
