Don't Use E15 Fuel if Your Car is Older Than 2012
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Warning Comes from AAA and Several Car Manufacturers. E15 is Coming to a Station near you Soon. Beware! It can Void Your Warranty and Destroy your Engine.
The EPA has approved adding 15 percent alcohol to what is called “regular gas.” It is supposedly fine for use in 2013 models, but very harmful to vehicles manufactured before 2012.
The Obama Administration is pushing it because it complies with their environmentalist agenda. It destroys the older gasoline burning cars they hate and promotes the sale of new small cars such as the Chevy Volt that government pays people to buy.
Fox Business reported that E15 is currently being sold in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Motorists are warned to be observant when you pull in to the pump and be sure you are not pumping E15 into a car older than 2012. Several car manufacturers have announced that use of E15 will void warranties in their cars, or that they will not pay for repairs caused by the alcohol in E15.
