EPA give the go-ahead for E15 fuel.

This is pretty disasterous for boat owners, snowmobiles, chainsaws, lawnmowers and anyone hoping to run their Rotax 912 powered LSA on mogas rather than leaded avgas. Seems the corn growers assumed everyone would rush to buy E85 capable cars (which we didn't) so now there's a glut of Ethanol no-one wants and they're pressuring the EPA to allow regular gas to have up to 15% ethanol when the safety of doing so is far from proven.

Its just about impossible to get straight gas (with no ethanol these days). Wonder how long before even E10 is a thing of the past.

theres 3 dealers in our area (heavy farming area) carry the real gas its about 3.35 a gallon for premium offroad, plus there's several Airports close by for the real good stuff,  i hate having to run ethanol based gas in my street truck, it's known to cause Oring failures and other gasket related issues, i try to add additives to eliminate the moisture in the tank and coming out the exhaust and prolong the damage the fuel is doing
