Ethanol, a clear, colorless, volatile, and flammable alcohol produced by fermenting sugars from agricultural crops such as corn or sugarcane, generally reduces greenhouse gases, but E15 can produce more smog-forming emissions when it evaporates in heat.

E15 is generally cheaper than E10. According to a 2024 estimate by the EPA, the E15 blend was then about $0.25 a gallon cheaper than E10. The Renewable Fuels Association estimates the price for E15 to be often 5-10 percent lower than the one for E10.

However, while the E15 rollout can lower prices, ethanol does contains less energy than gasoline, so eventually with E15, a driver will end up burning more fuel for the same amount of distance, albeit fuel which is slightly cheaper than standard gasoline.

According to the EPA's website, it previously approved E15 for use in light-duty conventional vehicles of model year 2001 and newer, through a Clean Air Act waiver request. Gas stations are not required to sell E15, but some have started offering E15 due to state and federal incentives for upgrading equipment and better profit margins when compared with regular gasoline.

E15 is available in 31 states at just over 3,000 stations, and vehicles approved for E15 use include flexible fuel vehicles and conventional vehicles of model year 2001 and newer. Vehicles prohibited from using E15 include all motorcycles, all vehicles with heavy-duty engines, such as school buses and delivery trucks, and all engines in off-road equipment, such as chain saws and gasoline lawn mowers.

isn't e15 woke?
what's going on?

>>1515026
>House Republicans passed a bill on Wednesday that would allow nationwide year-round sales of E15, a blend of gasoline mixed with 15 percent ethanol, also known as Unleaded 88—a product that refiners and retailers normally cannot sell in around half the country during the summer months due to air pollution concerns.
So he's allowing the country to sell a type of gasoline that you can't sell in the summer because muh global warming?

... So what's the down side? How am I being 'raped', OP?

>>1515043
E15 woke when Biden does it

When Trump does it, E15 based

Your car is still going to fucking explode because the octane content is still too harsh on engines and modern and classic cars alike are not made with the tolerances to run E15 long term. Anything prior to 2001 has the ethanol flash too early and create unpredictable firings, modern cars have such fine tolerances that the high gas pressures of ethanol gas can grenade your engine. This is unless it's a flex car. Said flex cars also having way shorter longevity than every other ICE car on the road.

Basically get raped, Trump doesn't care at all about your suffering because if your car goes kaput, that's another vehicle purchase you have to fork over to the US economy.

>>1515045
It's amazing how the other half of this country allows you the option to use E15, and trusts drivers to know the specifications on their car, but when Trump does it he's raping everyone.

>>1515046
>allows you the option
lol
lmao
E15 is a scam by the corn industry and it is objectively destroying people's motor vehicles when used pure. You have to mix it with non-ethanol to get a version that's not going to destroy your car.

>>1515059
So you're saying the higher octane destroys cars?
many US vehicles will handle e85.
I think you're panicraping your brain.

>>1515066
I mean, ethanol is/was sort of a scam by the corn industry. Like most scams it ties into corporate greed seeking to extract wealth from the government by providing a service.
It's like ACA, but way way less expensive and destructive.
It's actually an interesting story.

>>1515072
Do you have ANY other complaints, or is the entire thread you whining about orange man because muh global warming?

To get enough votes to pass the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, Democrats led by Henry Waxman made a deal with the corn lobby. In exchange for its support, Congressman Waxman committed to an oxygenate provision—essentially a mandate to blend corn derived ethanol into gasoline.

Biden Proposes A Massive Gift To The Corn Lobby

Orangeman?
I was complaining about Hunter Biden's Penis' father.

As a MAGA, I hate having clean air.

Imagine the hypocrisy of whining about clean air after spending so many years throwing molotov cocktails into small business. I imagine those 10,000+ arson cases in 2020 did wonders for our environment. Or burning all those Teslas, y'know burning lithium is so great for the air quality. Or that antifag who started those forest fires. Nothing quite says I love the environment like burning the environment down.

>>1515087
Overall, those are isolated incidents.
The problem is, ethanol is supposed to be cleaner than gas, so it's not an environmental issue.
It's a I want to complain about dRumpdf signing a bill that Biden proposed issue
Uniparty shit. If anyone's upset about it, they can vote to completely destroy one party and allow others to take their place.
Personally, my political dream is the eradication of the Democratic Party and at least one new party springing up who's opposed to lobbying.

A 'good guy' that bends over for Xi.

At this very moment, the US is shipping a lot of oil to the EU and Asia. This is the oil companies saying "fuck you" to Trump for being an idiot.

China is negotiating with Iran for passage through the Strait. It's just business. The Strait is like the Panama Canal now, it has an owner and you have to pay a fee to pass through. This is all due to Trump and no one else.

Thanks for playing, MIGA morons.

Blah blah. Let's drop bombs on China so you can complain about that next.

And that was a false flag by rightards. You can't prove otherwise.
But you've proved that there never were any firebombings, by your own admission. Complain all you want, but there were never any firebombings. You said it, I didn't.

The downside about it is instead of fixing the situation with the straight he wants to dilute the gasoline.

This is akin to instead of bread makers in medieval England having another oven to make more bread they instead put sawdust in the bread they have to make it seem like they have more.

>I'd rather die than be forced to listen to the retarded opinions of someone I don't like. I'm such a moron I think this means I need to be a right wing apocalyptic nihilist instead of fighting against these insufferable cunts within the objectively better party for control. I lost to the alphabet mafia, I let them push me away from any sane position and now find my self doing olypic level mental gymnastics to avoid confronting the fact that I am a weak, powerless, insignificant piece of shit, and I deserve to feel this way for being such a spiteful little bitch. I rolled over to them just as much as I roll over for my daddy trump!

Trump is a faggot that, by bending over to Xi, is a traitor that plays pirates in Hormuz. He sucked off 'Bubba': either Bill Clinton or Ghislaine Maxwell's horse, thus is either a homo or a zoophile.
