I plan to not use it anyway
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Posted it because until now it has been talk.I just got another letter from Lou Barletta about it too and this time it wasn't an Email response. I plan to scan it eventually and post it too.

How about all the diesel fuel that is burned by the tractors to harvest corn? Politicians and senior bureaucrats barking at civil servants to get something done creates situations like this. I'm glad AAA stepped up to the plate to warn people however Big Fed will not be held accountable for engines that fail.

Dogg, great vid, but we've known this was going to happen, elections matter.

It may be entirely accurate but you should still consider the source.

How enlightened and progressive, perhaps N.C. can be the first state to make the use of E-15 mandatory for all their subjects to fuel their vehicles. Gotta slow down all that troublesome AGW. Just considering the source, of course.

Ryk,
What you and Ian DON'T understand, is that E15, when used solely in North Carolina, produces more HP, more torque, more top speed, the most amazing exhaust tone, AND attracts some of the most beautiful people in the world. (Which reside in the Carolinas anyway) 
Not to be rude here, BUT, DUMMIES! 
And you may see me tonight

I noticed that a lot of the stations listed in GA on the pure-gas.org site are "unbranded". Sure wish more name brand stations such as Shell would sell the ethanal free gas.
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.

I'm not sure how much that really matters anymore. I rarely see the big brand tankers running the interstate like I did years ago. I prefer to use ethanol-free in our motorhome (GM 454) and have stopped at several of these stations between Florida and the Carolina's. I've never had a problem. My rule is to make sure the station is near a river or lake so it gets plenty of trailer boat traffic to keep the gas fresh. Across the river from me are several gasoline tank farms (Hess and BP). I see tankers loading up and delivering to Shell, Texaco and our local independent (Gate). I was told once that the fuel was the same, but different retailers just added their own "brand specific extras" to it. Maybe that's how every station in a given area has the same price per gallon.  That said, I still prefer to buy from the name brand/high volume dealers to insure fresh fuel (and clean facilities).
