E15 will run just fine in all fuel injected cars. It's not recommended on 2-cycle engines, small engines, or motorcycles though, ethanol is not good for these engines since they can't compensate for the different burning characteristics of the fuel. I've been running E30 and sometimes E40 in my car for about 3 years now. Mileage difference is negligible. I burn E85 in my 92 F150 on long trips, unless I am hauling, then I have one tank E10 (standard unleaded) and one E85. The standard unleaded offers more power when towing 6000 pounds up to speed, but once up to speed I switch to E85. That has been burning E85 since Albert Lea got it.
As far as it harming the fuel system components... whether it's 30% or the standard 10%, the concentration doesn't matter, the ethanol is still there, still affecting the fuel system in the same way, which is negligible. Fuel injection rated hoses are built for this.
One nice thing about having ethanol blended fuel is that you don't need to buy those cans of gasoline de-icer anymore! It's included in the price!

Grain farmers take half the year off? That's a good one! You have been off the "real farm" for quite some time I see. Is the winter workload lighter? Sure it is,but I never really stops.
About 23 to 28% of the corn cop is used for ethanol production and about 1/3 of that is converted to huh quality livestock feed. Any anyway we are not burning food we are utilizing a commodity nothing more nothing less. Remember farmers don't owe you anything. They can market their product however they want.
I have never, ever, not once, had a clerk refuse to turn on a pump no matter where I stick my nozzle. I'm guessing your at a prepay pump lifing the handle up and down cursing out the clerk! I have seen that plenty of times.

Not gonna spend too much time on this pissin' match but you said once that all you folks did was grain. I envied this type of farmer. At least you had some time off. We had grain plus livestock, mostly dairy cows. Twice a day 365.
As far as the gas goes, you live in po'dunk land. They probably don't care.

I was talking the other day to a guy who feeds out beef cattle. He was complaining about the cost of corn to feed his cattle, even though he grows it. I asked about the feed by-products from the ethanol plant to feed the beef. He said they will eat it, but they do not like it, so it takes longer to feed them out. Every day longer it takes to get them to market he loses money.
He said , of the stuff, it would be like having Honey Nut Cheerios and then having to eat generic plain cheerios.
And, Yes I agree. If you do not have livestock, you are no longer a farmer, just a big gardener.

No I'm not upset. Pretzel is not have enough knowledge on the subject to really have any meaningful input. All his information and statements always come from what "some guy I know" says....
I have actually fed distillers grains to livestock. They LOVED it.
Just make sure you thank those "gardeners" everyday for feeding and clothing you, your entire family, and well everyone else.
