The reason ethanol is bad is because the alcohol in the fuel will deteriorate fuel lines and gaskets unless they are specifically made for use with ethanol.
wow stupid me and the E85 I've run for the last 6 years on stock fuel system .

Bad are you running e-85 in the bike?If so why?
e85 is alot more forgiving in a race motor than pump gas and makes more power . most people hate on e85 cause they don't understand it or heard false rumors on the internet .

Im not saying E15 is good or bad, but the crux of the bill is that the EPA will not seek out
any independent studies, here are a couple lines :
"until the EPA seeks an independent scientific analysis of the effects of gasoline containing up to 15 percent ethanol."
“Despite ample warnings, the Environment Protection Agency continues to push E15 into the marketplace. The Clean Air Act requires a waiver for any fuel that is substantially different from zero percent ethanol before it is introduced to consumers,” Sensenbrenner said. “The EPA has been granting CAA waivers and justifying the decisions by citing a single disputed study conducted by the Department of Energy."
"Sensenbrenner said, “Our constituents use boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, cars, lawnmowers and tractors. They deserve to definitively know what E15 will do to the engines they rely upon.”
I dont trust big government agencies, like the EPA, Department of Energy, IRS, etc .. to do the right or
fair thing, just my opinion ...
