E15 gas? Anyone use?
Posted on 12/2/17 at 10:16 am

All gas is mostly e10 now. Would 5% more hurt?
12 cents cheaper.
I prefer to seek out ethanol free, but this is the first time I've seen e15.
I've seen e85 out west, but I know that's for specific flex fuel vehicles.
I'm filling a 40 gallon tank and that would save me almost $5. Not much but over time...

Is your engine made to use E15?

You'll just get terrible MPG when using it.

Sure... What can go wrong

I can't get a solid answer.
Its a 2007 4.6 2v sohc engine.

Don’t use it

Since starting the thread and filling with 87, I don't think it's worth risking.
I have almost 300k on this engine with no rebuild and no oil leak and near perfect compression so I don't want to risk it.

Now I have an old Caddy and the manual says.
"Use only Gasoline with 97 octane or greater"
Trying to build the engine seals, pumps and lines to accept e10 with no issue. Keeps adding to the price.

I was joking, don't use it. Your fuel system and cats aren't designed for it and you'll get terrible mileage.

Yeah, I read up on it. Just never saw it before add it said "for 2001 and newer vehicles"
I hate this ethanol crap. It's not needed at all. Just because we grow more corn than we need.

if you are smart you wont use that crap in anything made before 2015 and only if it specifically says its e85 safe.
it will destroy anything its used in unless it is specifically built to use it. now on top of that your mpg drops huge when using it because its watering down the gas with alcohol that doesnt burn as well or produce as much power.
dont be lured by the low price, it will cost you more to use it and could damage your vehicle.

Some Louisiana stations sell straight non-ethanol gas
