The ethanol has not seemed to bother my '01 fuel-injected Monster, but it raises hell with the outboard engine on my old sailboat. I'm going to try one of the Stabil products. I have used Stabil in the bike while it's in  winter storage and it seems to work fine.

Without shooting off into politics, I'd just like to say that it would be easy to blame the govt. for the mandated use of ethanol. But, then you realize that the big agri-business contribute loads of money to our elected representatives who pass these ridiculous laws. End result is fuel not fully-suited for our current internal combustion engines and more expensive food to boot.

Did I mention that I hate all politicians?
without shooting off into politics? Huh?

A strictly non-partisan rant. No intention to offend. No difference than ranting about absurd noise enforcement. I think we can all agree that sometimes laws are short-sighted.

Thought I had at a marina near my new place.  Turns out their fuel has ethanol in it, just doesn't have it labeled on the pump.   boo

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

This is where I fill up 99% of the time. It was listed on the site for a Spartanburg, SC station. They still have pure gas in premium and regular. It's right off of Business 85. if you're ever traveling on 85 through SC it's worth the stop. Filled up today for $3.79/gal.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'd have no problem putting it in my wife's new car -- 2011.  Manual specifically says that the car is designed for E10.

I wouldn't put it in my car though.  Cause it takes diesel.. :-)

My wife's car's MPG dropped pretty much exactly 10%, sometimes a little more, running on 10% E fuel.  Its a civic VX - an ultra-lean-burn motor (mid-40s on the E fuel, ~50mpg on the good stuff hwy).
