re: What happened to E85 Joe?

Many vehicles are capable today can run on E85 which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline blend. Check your owners manual. My Chevy truck is one of them. Most of todays vehicled are made to run on gasoline that is a 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol blended fuel. Joe is proposing adding another 5% ethanol. Making it 85% gasoline and 15% ethanol blend. That 15% ethanol will now wreak havoc on engines, both small and large. Hope that explains it for you.
The problem is that is not what you posted.

Most vehicles on the road can run 85% ethanol/15% gasoline. So now the POTUS wants an additive of 15% ethanol to gasoline that will ruin most car and small engines.
You said most cars can run 85% ethanol and then turned around and said 15% ethanol will ruin most cars.
I was just pointing out your contradiction.
Hope that explains the confusion of your post.

What’s using more corn for ethanol production going to do to the food supply? Already predictions of wheat shortages, what’s all this going to do to my cereal supply?
You're not eating this corn.

Yes, but something got to give, right? Wouldn’t an increase in ethanol % require more field corn? More acres devoted to field corn = less acres to sweet corn?

Ethanol has zero effect on farmers growing sweet corn. Commercial Sweet corn production is a pretty specialty market. The majority of sweet corn you are thinking about is grown in peoples gardens and sold on the side of the road or at farmers markets.

Maybe my terminology is wrong, what is cont flakes made from?
Posted on 4/14/22 at 10:21 am to Kattail
Corn flakes is made from field corn,same corn for feeding animals,making ethanol,whiskey.Official name is dent corn.
Can’t believe people believe there is special corn for animals and different corn for human food.
Sweet corn is for corn on the cob.Some people eat immature field corn for corn on cob,call it roasting ears.I’ve eaten it,chewy but I liked it.

The contradiction is with the vehicles computer software. I must drive 10-15 miles after filling tank with E85 for computer to calculate new fuel ratio to run engine properly. The same computer module calculates for E10 and E0. There are more than 22 million vehicles on the road that are E85 compatible.
I dont know of any vehicles that have the software installed for running E15.

Going back to my original post, so we do eat the same corn that ethanol is made from-high cotton

My Camaro runs on e85. It gets almost 10 mpg but that’s because it’s a cammed, 600 wheel hp car.

Hey genius, you know, there are thousands of stations around the country that sell E15 right now. It doesn't require any special software. It will do absolutely zero harm to anyone's engine. Just go ask some Iowans if you don't believe it. They sell a lot of E15 there.
JFC...
Hell, an engine doesn't even special software to run on E10 or E15. You can use then both just fine in small engines that have no computer. My log splitter and lawn mower work just like they're supposed to.
Holy shite, you're whole OP is just a glowing beacon of stupidity.

You just keep using that E10 in your small engines, and all the E15 Joe provides to you then. Im sure all your engines thank you.
As for me, I'll use E0 or E10 only in my vehicle unless i find the E85. I like the hp it provides. For me it's E0 only in all my small engines,

Never heard of Sta-Bil? shite works pretty damn well for six months or more.
Two stroke gas, doesn't matter if you use E10, 15, or whatever. The oil in the pre-mix keeps the fuel from absorbing the H2O from the atmosphere. shite will last for almost a year before turning, if not more, just sitting in your shed. Fact. Seent it too many times to count.
Hey genius, I was a professional mechanic for a long time. My stuff will work just fine either way. Know why? Because I have the sense to open the drain screw on the carbs of my small engines if they're going to sit for any length of time. Kinda hard for gas to go bad in a carb if there's no gas in it, right?
Dumbasses. Dumbasses as far as the eye can see around here.

I just use the stabil and seafoam in my E0, and it can set in that carb forever. My old 2 stroke Evinrude runs like it did when bought new.
Dont need a professional mechanic to tell me how to protect my engines and fuel lines from ethanol. I'm doing just fine with them.

Checking in. Yes, most people up in corn country run a 90% gas/10% ethanol blend in their cars year round. The zero ethanol blend, or premium, is much more expensive and you run that in small engines or boat motors.
The gas mileage you get on pure gas vs the 10% ethanol is not that much greater. So running on 10% is fine. In fact it's preferable in cold weather months as it burns hotter.
E85 really drops off noticeably on the fuel mileage because it is up to 85% ethanol. That's a huge difference from just a 10% additive.

I tried a few tanks of E85 in my Avalanche years ago. Got about 17 mpg on average on E10 and around 12 on E85.
With E85 the exhaust smelled like a distillery.

None of that matters because co2 isn’t the driving force of warming, so the whole conversation is stupid

My car manufacturers tell me to use premium so I do. I’ve never actually looked into it.
