I think if you go beyond E10 in older carbed vehicles, you will probably need to change the jets in the carb. If E15 becomes the norm here (only E10 for the last 8 years?), I'll try it in the Fiesta, and maybe my Ranger, but the bike will not see that concentration.

Frank has it pegged as far as running engines on alcohol. I think the Model T was originally designed to run on alcohol. I just hate it when you don't save money commensurate with the lower energy content, but then I have not really had the option of E0 in along time, and driving the close to 75 miles it takes to get E0 then paying 40cents more a gallon, is something I find hard to justify.
