E 15 going on sell this summer
Biden will announce later today the allowed sell of E 15 fuel. Basically gas with 5% more ethanol, does this seem like it would be a big enough change to cause problems on EFI systems ?

Allow the sell of e15?? Ive allready seen it at stations before......even used it on my 2010 avalanche without issue.
When they first came out with this stuff it was said to be made for vehicles 2001 and newer and any flex fuel vehicle. So i guess it depends on how new the FI system is your dealing with. They claim its "cleaner" for the environment but its 5% less power then straight gasoline.

Seriously wtf kind of shady ****... a week ago there were headlines everywhere that they just figured out adding alcohol made worse emissions then regular gas.. plus gasahol gets worse mileage then regular gas so you burn more or it.

We haven't seen E15 here yet however most of the marinas get the same gas as the road stations (very difficult to find E0 here). That being the case, I'm sure the majority of marinas in VA will be selling E15 whether it's approved for boats or not.
