In recent years, the auto industry has introduced vehicles powered by new and alternative fuels. So, today’s gas stations have begun to look a bit different. Today, you may even see charging stations where you pump gas. You also might see E15 gasoline as an option on the pump, a type of fuel you may not be familiar with. While using E15 gasoline can have some benefits, you’ll want to avoid it if you drive a car manufactured before the 2001 model year.
What is E15 gasoline?
A type of 88-octane fuel, E15 gasoline contains a mixture of 85% unleaded gas and 15% ethanol. According to MotorTrend, it’s been available to consumers since 2012 and is also often referred to as Unleaded 88. It’s produced for consumers looking for a gasoline and ethanol fuel mix but unwilling to pay a premium for it.
10% ethanol will do harm to any car and truck engine of any year if left unstarted for mild periods of time.
