“Enriched” with ethanol?

Enriched? Does that mean it’s more nutritious and has a creamier texture? NOW WITH VITAMIN R!

There has got to be more to it than this video and 100% accuracy is far from guaranteed but this is still worth a watch. Even when he’s wrong he makes good points.

Personally, I keep a mental note of every station near me that has ethanol free gas but I appreciate the effort to try to turn crap to cream.

I think the word is “impoverished”.

Apparently it is illegal to put E15 in vehicles older than 2001.

I mean, it is enriched, that the shit they mix it with would be unusable without it.

We only have the one at Sears Point, race track and another race focused place but both are too far to really be useful.

A number of the Conoco stations around here have it, but not all. I use it mostly for the Camaro since it sits a lot and it starts better after sitting with real gas in it.

I use an additive by Archoil in my 240z to help, I actually found it through Leno. I have three carbs. I also found something better than zddp through Leno with the same company.

I know this is hard for people to grasp....

But ethanol is GOOD for your engine.*

“Enriched” because if they were telling the truth, it would say “diluted”

I’m not gonna disagree, but ‘enriched’ is a bit of a stretch.
