E-15 Ethanol will Not hurt older cars. It's all a farce. I dug into ethanol deeply in the mid 2000's. I am a farmer who raises corn myself. Henry Ford's first car was designed to run on ethanol, but an investor told him he had to change it to gasoline as he produced kerosene and gasoline was another product to refine after kerosene was made. The difference in the 2 cars is 100% ethanol requires a higher compression motor. It burns hotter, faster and more completely. The engines today are lower compression and don't get as good of mileage from higher blends of ethanol. I myself have run E30 in non approved ethanol vehicles and know scores of people who ran higher blends in older vehicles as well. Ethanol is a replacement to oxygenate the fuel that is better for the environment the the benz....(forget the name). It releases less carbon monoxide and particulate matter than gasoline. Don't believe the lies of big oil! Ethanol is good for you, the environment, farmers and America!!! The remaining cake after ethanol is created is a highly digestable feedsource for cattle. It is more easily digestable than corn or silage, so it allows cattlemen to feed less rations to their livestock as well. Win, Win!!
