It's really a moot point since there are probably zero E15 pumps in all of Iowa. And, I don't need no Snopes in order to understand the oil business - my family has been in the oil business for twenty years and Dad still works for Ridge Oil up near Graham.
The use of ethanol in automobiles lowers fuel economy because is has a lower energy content. Ethanol creates more smog than gasoline and it is more expensive to produce and the production of ethanol increases global warming emissions. The only beneficiaries of ethanol use are repair garages. The cost to replace a fuel pump on your car could exceed $1000. The use of ethanol is in decline and the industry is going bankrupt. The only reason for ethanol use is by a government mandate. It's just an outrageous scam by the federal government. The U.S. is 70% to being fuel and energy independent, thanks to the oil production at the Bakken and Eagle Ford Shale. Most of U.S. oil imports come from Canada anyway. The bottom line is, unless you drive a Flex-fuel auto, avoid the uses of ethanol gasoline if you can. Before you pump, read the label on the pump!
