Yeah, I did. I'm just saying, it's not as crazy as you're making it out to be.
It's more than just filling one of the tanks with E15 and adding some signs.
At a minimum, they will need to add a tank for E15.

If you say so.It's more than just filling one of the tanks with E15 and adding some signs.

So, ultimately, this means absolutely nothing. Just politics as usual?
Nobody said Biden was smart.Dumbest idea I've heard yet! I'd say 100% of ethanol is trucked into the terminals, so more diesel fuel will need to be burned to transport this ethanol to the terminals.
It was called a scam by certain people and a way to get votes from farmers when Trump tried it. Now it's supposed to save us money? Uh-Uh.
Not to mention further reducing fuel economy for the average driver.
It's not a mandate, it's a waiver.Perhaps I missed it - where is there anything that mandates anyone use E15? I'll wait...
It's not a mandate, it's a waiver.
The EPA waived RVP rules after Hurricane Katrina, letting "fall blend" gas out a few weeks early.
This is not really that, though.
it is available year round here.I didn't even know that E15 wasn't available year-round.. The local Sheetz always seemed to have it for sale. Maybe it's allowed to be sold year round here.
I've never seen E15 in the NYC/NJ/CT Metro area
All our gas has been E10 by default for decades now
87/89/93
Sunoco has to be special and offer 91 separately
I just checked, there's at best 8 E85 pumps in the region
There's more availability of CNG , and that's sad
I don't think I'll be seeing any of it
Ever growing amount of chargers
Maybe I should take the hint
For those older than myself
What happened to all the Methanol and Propane alternative fueled cars that were a thing in the 90s/early 2000s?
I've only ever seen/driven CNG (I work @ the gas company), electric, and gas/diesel
Propane, Biodiesel, LNG are scarce to non-existent
Hydrogen isn't really a thing on my coast
Back then they said up to 15% MTBE or 10% ethanol. Haven't seen that in ages.
MTBE is what was used as an oxygenate in this area (EPA non-attainment area so oxygenated gas, also known as RFG, reformulated gas, is required). But MTBE can get into groundwater and a very small amount of MTBE will make water taste bad. The oil companies wanted indemnity from their use of MTBE, the Feds wouldn't give it to them, so we get ethanol instead of MTBE because the oil companies don't want the liability from using MTBE if it spoils someone's well water.
It seemed to me that gasoline with MTBE had a different odor compared to gasoline without it.
If it moves to fast...regulate it
If it moves to slow.. subsidize it
9-9-9I think the original was:
If it Moves, Tax it. If it Keeps Moving, Regulate it. And if it Stops Moving, Subsidize it.
