E15 gas

I currently use a 10% blend, how will E15 fuel work in my 21 Tundra? I really can't go for lower MPG.

 

It looks like our already dismal mileage is about to get lower. Corn is for moonshine not gasoline.

 

Page 518 of my owners manual specifically states DO NOT USE E15!!!!!

 

Rotten mileage, different pollution. No thanks.

 

Not surprised this may be coming. Just another on the list of bad ideas…

 

Junk...the lost in MPG vs the .10c per gal saving will save you nothing

 

Flex fuel V8. Good for up to E85.

 

Flex fuels were dropped from the Tundra line up in 2020 MY. OPs truck is not FF.

 

My gas cap explicitly says not to use E15. (2018) E(anything) will diminish your fuel mileage considerably.

 

Smoke and mirrors, bait and switch. It's a scam for people that are ignorant to buy into.

 

Maybe grades like Premium will have the “old” levels of ethanol. Because this is what my manual says about it and I’m sure there’s lots of other vehicles out there with similar requirements…

 

Get ready to spend extra for alcohol treatments at each tankful!!

What is your favorite flavor? Mine is Star Tron.

 

Mine is Buffalo Trace…

 

I agree, but did I say something along those lines to get my post removed?

 

Corn needs fertilizer before it goes to fuel. Isn't fertilizer also on the endangered list and reason for crop prices going up?

Well played.
I am gonna try a tank of "marine" eth free gas and see how much better it works.

 

I never did understand the ethanol thing. Takes three gallons of water to make a gallon of the stuff...and it gets worse mileage. I got a FFV and I won't run it. Being in Iowa that pretty much makes me a heretic.

 

It's been a long time since I last read anything but it took something around 20 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of ethanol to include irrigation.

 

Those of us with FFV trucks already have a smaller interval of oil changes. It gets even smaller when you use e85. This feels like a push for electric cars, as most cars don't like E10 as is.

 

If I understand how the process works. Allowing E15 fuels will not help fuel prices. Farmers switched to soybeans this year because so much Urea is used to produce corn. If they switch to corn to produce ethanol it will only make fuel prices worse. Urea is at record prices. It takes gas to make Urea, and Urea to produce corn, and corn to make ethanol. Also, miles per gallon dropped drastically last time I ran a truck on E85. In fact if I remember right it actually cost me more per mile.

 

My 2021 manual is ok with E15, and it is not a flex fuel. I wonder what changed?

 

So where do you go to get <10% ethanol blend...

Will my local costco just make the bait and switch or will I be notified I'm pumping 15% versus 10%?

I think that it's required that it be posted on each pump.

 

Thanks!

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - moonshine.

 

My 70 Chevelle BB will not be happy!
Lets hope it ain't so.
