I have one small station/car shop in my area with ethanol free gas (plus the marinas). I'd driven by it many time without realizing it was a non-branded gas station. But you folks are missing the more important EPA decision regarding E15 gas, vice the current E10 (I'm pretty sure there is a thread somewhere on here about it already).
Simplifying things greatly, Corporate gas stations will be required to offer E15, and if the gas station uses a blending gas pump like most do, the MINIMUM E10 purchase (every motorcycle manufacturer has said E15 is dangerous) will be 4 gallons because the pump has to purge out the possible E15 still in the pump from the previous customer. Um, I've only have to go to reserve once in 8000 miles, so over 4 gallons once in my 5 gallon tank (which is larger than many here).
The Harley D folks are all over this. I'm expecting MC rallies in DC next Spring 10x larger than the anti-Iraq War protests (with 10% of the coverage) if this isn't killed.
This one is political, but largely non-partisan. It is geographic, buying off Iowa voters and middle America Congressmen of both parties. Plus the bureaucracy of the EPA (Law was signed by Bush, supported by Obama, but the car-centric regulatory implementation by the EPA is what is ****ing off the motorcycle community - and anyone with a boat, lawn mover, ATV, ....). I'll give you links to the left and the right saying how ignorant this is:
Progressive left:
Or from the libertarian right
I hope this regulation is going to die a swift death.Comment
