This fuel also negatively affects most small gasoline motors commonly used in generators, snow mobiles, pressure washers, chain saws, lawn equipment etc., etc.
Ethanol free gas is available in some states/areas, and is the best choice for these applications. Fuel additives are available for E 10 gas supplies, don't know if they will work on the E 15.

I would not mind it if the Gov't did not mandate the use of ethanol. Those that can use it ... Great! Those that find it more expensive or damaging to their equipment don't have to use it.I say ... let the consumer ... (you and me) decide.

I'm with you on the gov. While where at it I don't like the tpms tire pressure system and I heard the gov is going to make all new vehicles have a backup camera just what we need.

Consider that the two best safety systems today were NOT mandated by gov't. What are they ? Air bags and antilock braking. Both systems were demanded by the consumer. Tire pressure systems are nice not a great leap in safety, except for the careless and ignorant.
