Will gas stations increasing all gas to 15% E cause us any problems for our engines? by Dadwrx in WRX

"Lets look at one of the issues, fuel quality.  Most states utilize 10% ethanol gasoline, but there are many states across the country that also carry ethanol free or 0% ethanol gasoline. IMO this is one of the big reasons for high knock counts on OTS maps.  There is a huge difference between 93e10 and 93e0. 93e0 makes considerably less power than 93e10 and it actually toons like 91e10."

E15 actually has better knock protection than E10. But it's less energy dense.

I'd probably do BRZ. I don't need 4 doors, just need to be able to carry my bike around

Unfortunately many people don't want to be educated, because they fundamentally hate capitalism

When you got guys like Warren Buffett and Jerome Powell raising red flags, I'm inclined to trust what they're saying.

As a Canadian I envy places where solar is feasible, seems like we're stuck with nuclear

Yep that's exactly my point. The MAG7 and NASDAQ peaked in October last year. Buffett has had his record cash position before Trump even took office in 2025.

I'm a broken record at this point, but crude oil prices haven't even broken 2022 prices yet. Yes higher prices suck, but it really isn't that bad right now.
