Fuck you if you own a motorcycle, I guess.
My RV200's tank only holds 1.7 gallons, and my CH50 will only take one. I guess I'm meant to just dispense the remaining three gallons onto the ground, then...?
From morocyclistonline.com:
Running your bike on E15 may cause your engine to run hot and could possibly damage your bike's catalytic convertor as well as cause crud buildup on your valves and pistons.
Ethanol fucks up the rubber in my 1980s Suzuki carburetor. I wish I could find an alternative.
I feel you. E10 is the lowest content we can get anywhere around me. I have to ride about 90 miles to get to the nearest station with non-ethanol fuel.
There is Sta-Bil 360 which allegedly mitigates the effects of ethanol at least in storage. I always use it in my bikes overwinter, and I haven't had any issues... yet.
Several stations around me have removed their mid grade option to sell E85 in that pump slot instead. You can have E10 regular, E10 premium, E85, or fuck off. I have seen a few shiny new stations on the interstate that only offer E15, which seems to happen most often out in corn country. I get that there's only so much oil in the ground, but you're right -- there has to be a better way. It's just probably not as cheap...
Yeah and which one of those are you putting ethanol in?
