they announced a few weeks ago they are raising the ethanol to 15%, wonder if cali & other states label it accurately? gas stations around me in the midwest still label each grade & show the E0, E10 & E15, so at least we know & have a choice.
E15 is cheaper by about .05-.10/gal than E10 around here & a lot cheaper than E0... but it takes more to get the same distance, so any savings on ethanol is a complete wash on MPG.
just a gimmick to make people think they are spending less. plus ive read it takes more than a gallon of gas to produce a gallon of ethanol, if thats true the entire ethanol thing is a scam... just like electric vehicles!
