15% ethanol/85% gasoline

How shitty was the mpg with 15% ethanol compared to the 10% blend?

About 5% worse


ETA: I don't remember ever seeing an e15 pump in La.

$1.95 vs $1.90

If I'm getting 5% worse performance, I want 5% less cost..

New Racetracs are carrying it in Louisiana.

I have tried E85. It was a good bit cheaper but the mileage sucked big time. Good old regular unleaded for the win.

Any gas with "E" in front of it sucks.

lots of people will argue, but if you do the math, there is not much difference at all in any ethanol vs non ethanol gas.

Yeah... in my race car. Good stuff running 30psi of boost. Kind of tricky on the fuel mapping though.

I haven't tried E15 but I also don't get better mileage with ethanol free either.
