Funny how there's no mention of the lower fuel economy of E10 and E85. Never mind the environmental impact to produce the ethanol.

This doesn't mean E10 will go away, it just greatly lowers the prospect of us having E15 shoved down our throats

I'm just curious regarding the details behind "the producers have pushed the E.P.A. into allowing a blend that is 15 percent ethanol rather than 10"

But I think I might be hearing the tumblers clicking in the distance...

Your hearing is quite acute.

Most saw oil comes with stabilizer already added now.

Small engines have rubber/plastic parts in the fuel system that don't even play as well with ethanol as PA-6 doesn't...

if you catch my drift.
