The Ethanol Papers - Paperturn manuscript - Flipbook - Page 521
Hypocrisy of Big Oil.
• As for claiming that E15 is not compatible with motorcycles, boats, and
ATVs; that's hogwash. A good many of the very same bikes, boats, and
buggies sold in America are sold in Brazil, where the standard fuel is
E27. And if, by some strange reason someone has a lawn mower that
doesn't like E15, then they shouldn't use it; they should use E10 or E0.
No one is forcing them to use E15.
• If automakers could get away with it they would say that starting your
engine voids new car warranties. Congress should pass legislation that
immediately requires all automakers to extend warranties for any new
ICE cars and light trucks built since the year 2010* to include up to the
use of E40. Additional legislation should be passed that warranties for
all ICE cars and light trucks built after 2020 extend to the use of E50.
Coincidentally, just a few days ago American Coalition of Ethanol (ACE) released a video that claims to expose the problems caused by the use of E15.
The video is titled "Retailers Highlight E15 Liability Issues." The morons at API
and their PR firms must have looked only at the title and not the video. The
video itself is a fabulous tongue-in-cheek response to the same kind of irresponsible yellow journalism featured in today's API's garbage press release.
