I used to use a lot of E15 since Sheetz has it at most of their newer locations and the car I had then actually got 1 or 2mpg better with it (likely because it was 88 octane instead of 87) but after a while I started getting emissions related check engine lights until I stopped using it.
Here's the biggest thing. I first started using E15 because it was cheaper but slowly the price of E15 increased to only be slightly cheaper than E10... It started out sometimes being 50 cents cheaper only to eventually average 5 cents cheaper as people started using it instinctively. Clearly the cost of ethanol was cheaper but the industry (and/or Sheetz) found that they could pocket those savings once consumers were used to using it... Make it a mandate and there is no incentive to compete with E10 because it's not accessible anymore.
Sorry but I can't get behind adding more ethanol to our gasoline. For decades we've been told about how ethanol reduces prices at the pump but every time more ethanol is added corporate America uses it as an excuse to increase their profits and it starts causing vehicle issues that increase with the age of the vehicle.
It's always pushed as a money saver to consumers but when it's mandated we never actually see fuel costs go down.
Proponents of ethanol say year-round sales of a gasoline blend containing 15% of the biofuel would give consumers a less expensive alternative to fill their gas tanks, boost energy supplies and benefit agricultural interests.

So, the kakistocracy has decided the best way to deal with the #IranWar is to add more corn juice to our gasoline. And that's a problem.
Most of the gas labeled 88 at American pumps is #E10, 10% ethanol. And ethanol does indeed help make gas cheaper. But it is 33% less efficient, and in hot months dramatically increases smog.
Ethanol is also a hygroscopic solvent. Unless a vehicle is labeled "flex fuel", running 15% ethanol for more than a tank or two may cause damage to seals, rubber bits, and even aluminum. If your engine was manufactured before 2001, E15 can melt your valves. Literally.
It makes the car run less efficiently, produces significantly more #pollution, and can damage many existing vehicles on the market.
Believe it or not, and I'm having trouble, two #GOP Senators said it best when they said: Expansion of #E15: A gift to the #ethanol lobby and a consumer betrayal:
