    Don't use it period. Everything I have read says use it only in new cars that are designed and engineered for it. It is some really bad stuff.

    Yamaha did a study running their motors on E15 gas. After 300 hours of nonstop running the two strokes were throwing rods and a 300hp four stroke burned 2 valves. The identical motors running beside them on pure gas had no problems.

    You can't even run that crap in chain saws, weed eaters, lawn mowers, any 2 cycle motor let alone your cars. Contains too much alky. All car manufacturers have already said it would void their warrantees except for the few expensive hybrids. Less gas mileage means you will buy more also. Yeah,,Kudos to our govt. and the people that think up this stuff to force on us.

    E15 gas is only for engines designed to run on it. Do not use it for regular gas engines, just like you don't burn diesel fuel in them either.
