15% Ethanol

[Toystoretom]

Here is an interesting article about the effects of the proposed option to sell 15% ethanol. I wonder what that would do to the auto lube some of us have? It might burn cooler, but it might screw up the air/fuel mixture on our two stokes. Here in Missouri all gas is 10% ethanol by law, you can't buy just plain old "straight" gas. From what I understand you will be able to buy either 10% or 15%. I wonder if my GTR would burn Canadian Club?

Ethanol causes lost power ethanol does not produce as much energy as gasoline.
Infact it start losing about 20% of its power that means decreased performance
And reduced fuel economy and heavy carbon deposits.
In Virginia we can get fuel with out ethanol i think is about 2.99 a gallon.
Thanks.

I glanced over the story recently in USA Today paper at work. I'll try to avoid it with our cars and definitely when on the GTR.
