Basically a farm subsidy levied on American citizens by greedy politicians. Follow the money! Disgraceful, and dangerous to boaters everywhere.

Not just boaters....... With the exception of a few automobile models, nearly everything else that runs on gasoline can only choke down E-15 at best. Almost nothing gas powered & engineered prior to 2005 will even handle E-10. This is all bull shit being stuffed down our throats.

My 2013 Dodge Durango just happens to be E85. As I understand it a flex fuel vehicle gets worse MPG on E85 than E10, emmissions is no better and the cost of E85 is higher.
It just doesn't make any sense..
If they do this to marine fuel I'm screwed

If everyone who has a problem with this would call their reps multiple times a week, it would make a difference.

Sent an email in September. Took about three months but I got a "We're looking into it" bullshit letter in response. I'm not holding my breath.
