Default E-15 . . . . . .

How will we know when E-15 starts to show up at local gas stations? Will the nozzles be different?

There is E-15 and E-30 in my area. No differences in nozzles.

You will know E-15 is around when marinas and power equipment dealers start posting help wanted ads that specifically list "carb/fuel system experience a plus".

One of our local State Representatives in Indiana said that the pumps will have to be marked in some way.

The current / proposed EPA standard says all you need is a warning label on the pump. Yea, that'll work.

I've been checking the pumps for stickers but most don't even have the 10% ethanol stickers anymore. Is E-15 in Michigan?
