Here's some information direct from the out-of-voter-control EPA Nazi's. http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/additive/e15/#use

Scroll down to the section about what vehicles can and cannot use E-15 and it specifically excludes boats.

My previous posts about the Gosh-awful,costly Ethanol debacle that has been rammed down the throats of Americans are numerous and I won't bore members with repetition.

All I can suggest is write and re-write your elected Representatives in the House and the Senate and express your concern and outrage at this well funded Ethanol Lobby that continues to cost consumers Billion$ in engine repairs, increased food costs and fills the Corn Farmer's pockets with your tax money via the asinine and unwarranted Ethanol $ub$idy.

Proponents of E-15 say it's fine for marine engines and are pushing hard to make it the new standard for regular unleaded. The truth is, it's a violation of federal law to use E-15 in marine engines.

I don't know who those E-15 "proponents" are for sure but I can rationalize they are connected to or are the direct representatives of the Ethanol Lobby. We pour tax money into the Corn Farmer's pockets at an alarming rate and it needs to stop...now !

Two years ago, the Ethanol Lobbyists had the MO State Senate about convinced to start selling and requiring E-15 at MO gas stations. Thankfully, it got derailed when three State Senators who are cattlemen from the West side of the State got up and stated how their feed bills had tripled since Ethanol came about and that they had the increased corn prices resulting from Ethanol production to thank for that. That stopped the crap in the State but wouldn't you know it, the Feds pushed the E-15 through behind everyone's backs and with little to no advanced warning. That is the inherent danger with the EPA, there is next to no oversight of that Agency (only thru Congress and we know what a joke they are) and no direct citizen control of their actions.

We have a part-time neighbor who is a nice guy and a Corn Farmer from West Central Iowa that is free to come down to TR between planting and harvest time, so he is here very often during the warmer Months. He is rolling in money right now, despite a recent messy divorce, and has recently purchased 2 new Combines, a 24ft. Chapparal ski boat, a new SS Camaro and some kind of new JD 4WD, eight wheel tractor. He contract-grows seed for the Corn Agri-business Companies and also custom harvests corn for his local area. He's been telling us how this Corn price bonanza has set neighbor against neighbor in his neck of the woods. It seems the land in the Corn-belt is now so valuable, thanks in large part to the Ethanol subsidy, that everyone is trying to buy everyone else's land. He went on to say while the financial situation is very good it has set neighbor against neighbor and created very hard feelings.

Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.

sums it all up...

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.
