Study: New E15 Gas Can Ruin Auto Engines

And then, when we can't get our cars fixed, we will all ride public transportation. Just one more notch in the Socialist agenda's belt!

so can the E-whatever is lower...(ruin your motor)
My mileage dropped to HALF of what I got previously, so I go to mainstreet & buy ethanol free. Costs a little more, but does it when you only buy half as much.
