This video's been around awhile and I wouldn't put a lot of worry into it. Not to side with EPA (perish the thought!), but with a nickname like "The Car Coach" working for that world-renowned scientific thinktank: AAA, well, she just has to be an expert on fuels and mixtures of gasolines and ethanol, right? Although what she says may have some truth to it, be skeptical when a presenter uses terms such as "Could be...", "Potentially could...", and "May void...". These are all weasel words used by the likes of Slick 50 and Split Fire spark plugs (both of which were rightfully hammered by the SEC for advertising sans data). Until the OEMs or a major oil company has done standarized testing, they will not warranty any product, E15 included. I didn't see Ms. Fix offer to share her data either. E15 may be very bad, or it may be slightly worse than E10, but the video was a cartoon.
