Sent my two cents in this morning (from my motorcycle forum) but I read about 6 pages worth of comments and it is heavily weighted toward acceptance. :o
Those few against it were boat/marina/motorcycle/classic type car owners. :thumright:

im sorta every one of those! lol i own 2 boats, work for a marina, own 4 ATV's, and well my truck aint a classic, but it is pretty old!  :mrgreen:

im all for lowering the price of gas, but there's a point where the cost of repair out weighs the savings :thumbdown:

E10 is a sad hoax and a disaster.  E15 will just make things worse.

When you could find non-blended gas I ran tests on a 200 mile interstate trip we make regularly to visit family.  Tahoe and S-10.  E10 gave 10-12% less mpg than non-blended.

I'm not even going to rant about all the other problems it causes.
