Yeah the article is 3 mo. old but it looks like the E15 is wrecking
havoc on even some 4-stroke marine engines.


I shudder the thought of what it would do to my chainsaws too.


Could have told you that 10 years ago. Real gas burns better and does
less damage.


Oh I knew about it 10 years ago, but some people here might not see a
problem with it.

It's not good stuff especially for carburetor type engines.


While I think fuel injected engines handle it better, they too suffer.
I am in a high altitude area, and fuel millage is up but it should be
down. I suspect it is because we get the 100% gasoline.

But I am sure some congress people invested in ethanol.
