E15 Do's and Don't's and sticker warning
E15: Frequently Asked Questions | E15 (a blend of gasoline and ethanol) | Fuels & Fuel Additives | US EPA
My pondering is, if they have stickers to warn against using this fuel in certain applications, then they should *SENSIBLY* have other pumps for motor vehicles that can't use the fuel - AKA older E10 pumps. So I'll be sticking to those
if they're still around...

But so long as there's a warning, that pump can be avoided for now.

We're doomed... voided warranties, higher food cost, crappy gas mileage... We really need to go to the streets and protest this BS. Maybe do something along the matters of this?

I own 40 acres of land in Louisiana used to farm sugar cane. I received a form a couple of yrs back to receive possible tax breaks when/if sugar cane receives bio-fuel status.
Hopefully, sugar cane can cut into the amount of corn needed for ethanol.
Brazil already has a large sugar cane bio-fuel program.

I thought Congress passed a law to stop funding the EPA as the EPA is regulating the air quality and economy and that what congress is supposed to do.
Congress has the authority to regulate air and water quality. Not some puppet behind a desk.
I use to get 42.5 plus MPG now I only get 36 MPG on my motorcycle.
That's a 15% cut in fuel milage. This makes a Gold Wing impracticle to ride as a daily drive as cars get 40MPG plus now. You have to replace tires every 10K on a motorcycle.

Maybe there's hope?

I'm a liberal-ish Illinoisian and even I hate the idea of increasing ethanol use. I'm fine with replacing MTBE with ethanol because MTBE is awful stuff but the rest of this is stupid. I wish there was a way we could just press the mute button on ADM every time they bring up ethanol.
"Hang on, I got an idea. Lets BURN our food!!!"
I wish they'd take the entirety of ethanol funding and just throw it at LFTR/MSR research.

Mr. Örange
In the U.S. (at least on the west coast) as far as I know ethanol is not shipped down the pipeline and is shipped by train (fuel being burned with emissions.) Then when it arrives at the destination a lot of the times it is loaded onto trucks to be delivered to the tank farms (more emissions and fuel being burned for a product that is supposed to cut emissions.)

Well, pure ethanol does typically combust "cleaner" than the hydrocarbon soup we call gasoline. However, it's typically billed as a "clean" (rather than "cleaner) fuel and nothing that involves combustion in the awful, non-ideal environment inside an engine is going to be clean.
