E-15 15% ethanol fuel (good news)

Post by jake75 »

Kiplinger Letter sent me a November 2010 sample - therein they expressed their opinion that even if EPA ok's a 15% ethanol fuel for cars made after 2007 very few stations will offer it because of liability issues and lack of dispensing equipment that is compatible with E-15 fuel. Big oil companies (5 of 8 stations) are also discouraging E-15.

...hooray for big oil? NOT!...they'll probably just RAISE the co$t anyway for not putting it into the gasoline.
