    I don't think they are bumping up e10 to e15.
    They just making it legal to sell e15 during the summer for pumps that sell e15.

    My poor dirt bikes would blow up on e15

    That's how this stuff starts. First they give you the "option", then when nobody buys it they incentivize it with subsidies, then when that doesn't work they make it law. It's a pattern that repeats over and over and over and over and over and over again, but somehow people are still hopeful that somehow the next thing to use this process will be different... Well it will be, it will be worse.

    It might be how they phase out yard equipment and small engines to electric. It's going to take a while still.

    They have a war to sustain. I do wonder how that affects their gas prices.

    So BTW Im still looking for a 3rd gen 4wd truck so I can build it so if anyone knows of something (long shot as I always say!!) just let me know. Hopefully prices will start to come back to normal again and make it a possibility.
    Used vehicle costs have started to drop luckily but still pretty dang high.
    Have you guys seen the stuff people are trying to sell on Facebook Marketplace? They aren't quite as cray as they were a while back but sheesh some of these people think a super blown out Chrysler LeBaron is worth $10k Hahaha!!

    $125/week for a tank of gas:annoyed:. Easily putting $500/mo or more as gas.
    Though the truck's paid off, it isn't making any sense to take it to work daily.
    What's a suggestion for a cheaper fuel efficient/hybrid/electric smaller car/hatchback for daily office commute?
    If I could bike to work, I would have.

    @bacon_st Retirement? E-bikes are not too pricey. My DRZ400 can get 55+ mpg and has decent highway power.
