"Five manufacturers (BMW,Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen) are on record saying their warranties will not cover fuel-related claims caused by the use of E15. Seven additional automakers (Ford, Honda,Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo) have stated that the use of E15 does not comply with the fuel requirements specified in their owner’s manuals and may void warranty coverage.
The only vehicles currently approved by automakers to use E15 are flex-fuel models, 2001 modelyear and newer Porsches, 2012 model-year and newer GM vehicles and 2013 model-year Ford vehicles."

This is from the local paper I am talking about. Called Tech Center News. The GM Tech Center in Warren is just a few miles away, so this newspaper is at all local establishments.

I am taking this articles word for it BTW in terms of the manufacturers stance, I have not looked them up independently.
I guess AAA and the corn lobby run in 2 different circles in Washington.
