Temporarily to help with shortages. heard it on Fox Business. No link.

Be careful with your outboards and mowers, etc.

I've noticed that some of the new or remodeled Racetrac's have Eth free pumps.

So do they have to mark it at the pump?

The Renewable Fuels Association hailed the move, saying it would allow broader use of ethanol up to levels as high as 15 percent of motor fuel, the group said. The EPA move "effectively allows for an early end to the summer volatility control season and allows immediate use of winter gasoline in conventional gasoline areas," Bob Dinneen, president of the RFA said in an email. "This allows for the sale of E15 in those conventional gasoline areas of the states covered by the waiver."

I never run ethanol gas in my lawn mower, chain saw, tractor, weedeater, wood splitter, generator, etc. 100% pure gasoline only. I firmly believe it is hard on small engines and especially older engines (tractor). I think the ethanol industry and SeaFoam are in collusion with each other.

Naw,couldn't be a scam. Let's see, our government subsidized the farmer planting the corn, subsidized the plant construction and production of ethanol, and then mandated we use a fuel that will get less fuel mileage and cost more to produce (in energy) than the end product will produce.

No chance of a scam there, just our brilliant government at work again.

You mean big Ag? The Energy sector understands things like heat value and efficiency...??, people looking for farm subsidies don't and don't care.

Thought it was not corn that they use?

Anywho... Stabil marine in your outboard/small engines
I use it even in ethanol free, which if I remember only has to be 6% or less.

I love my fall hunting trips to the upper Midwest because how readily available E85 gas is. Maybe now I won't have to drive to North Dakota to get it! Will save me quite a bit of time!
