    Default The government helping us out again!!!


    The EPA has now made it OK to use up to 15% ethanol in our gasoline now. This means your mpg's will drop even more.
    You should've been here yesterday!!!! :rolleyes:

    We may have to double the amount of Stabil marine formula.

    ...or get a 55 gallon barrel of oil and start adding it to our gas ourselves. I'm already having troubles from lawn mowers and boat motors NOW!

    Been using 10 % ethanol in everything I got for 5 years now. I mix Stabil in all but my truck and car....no problems, boat runs fine and so does the lawnmowers, weedeaters, and four wheeler.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Will the pumps be marked with what has the 15% ethanol. Be nice to start a list of places in the states that does not carry all these add, to our gas. What I like the best is where I am at we have a shell gas station down the highway and it reads 2.60 and everybody else is 2.75 and you look in the lot and it is not crowded and you wonder what is going on so you look at the sign again and right under it printed in small numbers 2.75 without a car wash. I make it a point to never stop there even if I am pushing my truck with my own 2 hands.

    That is the problem they haven't figured out yet. It would be hard for stations to add pumps, so they may take away a choice that is already there and replace it with the E 15. They have to give us a choice because some older cars are not made for E 15. Most newer cars have no problem. One of the biggest problems with ethanol is that being an alcohol it attracts water. That's why all the small engines that don't get used alot have problems. That's just one reason though. Hopefully it will be awhile before it gets to the stations.
    You should've been here yesterday!!!! :rolleyes:
