chevysoldier Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 funny.It'll (ethanol) be mainstream within the next few years. http://ethanol.org/Using ethanol benefits everyone. Finally the farmers of America will get the money they deserve. It burns cleaner. Its cheaper (not a whole lot right now, but will be drastically cheaper once mass produced like gasoline).

lp johnny Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 unless they have changed..Meijer gas was 100% gasoline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 unless they have changed..Meijer gas was 100% gasolineHow is it pumped into the trucks that deliver it. Where is it mixed? That might shed some light on why it's not available anywhere anymore. Good work reconrat on actually answering the question BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ohio no longer requires ethanol notification at the pumps. (since 2002)It's all E10 (10% ethanol) unless stated otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Ohio no longer requires ethanol notification at the pumps. (since 2002)It's all E10 (10% ethanol) unless stated otherwise.Is there some petition we can sign to try and reverse this?This is kind of interesting. A hole bunch of manufactures recommend or prohibit the use of E10.Apparently Ducati says not to use it at allhttp://www.fuel-testers.com/manufacturer_fuel_recommendations_ethanol_e10.html Edited June 22, 2010 by vw151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 it s enough for me to worry about my engine health (in my car more than my bike) moreso than the actual mileageespecially since I wind my engine up pretty hardmy 748 has no cat(s)..

Das Borgen Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) ..it was just an anecdote buddy by denoting the 748 has no cats. I m more worried about my car if E15 were to pass. BMW says E10 is OK for the S52B32 motor in my car per that fuel-tester website and I'm sure it was designed to be compliant with the catsin any event, I meant to note my car because the difference in MPG will be bigger (percentage-wise because the base mileage is smaller)) EPA is 17/25/20 MPG for my M3 and I've been returning 23-25mpg per tank so I wanna see the percent increase in my mileage..... My car's computer (tank range displayed on computer screen) tells me it should be getting 440miles per tank but I get about 380 in reality.My duc has been 39-45mpg so it would be nice to see the difference too but that's not my prerogative in this study Edited June 22, 2010 by Das Borgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSB67 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 WTF - I thought I got away from this stuff when I left Cuyahoga county. Up there they only used to add it November through March or so. Sunoco Ultra 94 used to be guaranteed alcohol free. Not all stations have it.I'd be interested to see some solid info on what the situation is around here - I assumed that the gas I get in Delaware county is alcohol free.

Wolf Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Meijer *used* to advertise 100% gasoline. They have stopped that practice a couple years ago. I usualy get gas from UDF in Hilliard, it may be mental, but both the bike and truck seem to run better, I dunno. There are somewhat simple ways to test for ethanol if you have the right stuff. (test tubes, and rap) I thought about getting a test kit, and going around to several stations around Columbus, and seeing what the results are.On another thought, maybe we should start raising a stink, and get it to be law that it's labeled properly in this state.

Wolf Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 which UDF? what street?Corner of Cemetery and Leap - I'm not sure if it's E10 or not, but the old Ford always seems to run a bit better on it. I'm going to see if I can get some test tubes, and do that water test, I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
