Regarding E-15; some of my company vehicles can run on it and my ever mindful superintendent was using it to save the company money. He has a large heavy vehicle and after several of the idiot lights came on, we took it our mechanic and he recommended not using the E-15.  We went back to the E-10 and the lights never came back on, he says the vehicle runs better and gets better mpg now too.

The better mileage makes sense, but it's interesting how the lights all came on....did he elaborate at all as to what trouble codes came up?

I just talked to my superintendent and he said it was oxygen sensor light (s?). He said the vehicle (loaded 2015? cutaway F-450) was bogging down, almost like the transmission was slipping.  I'm not in the office much or involved in the day to day stuff much anymore, so not sure what our mechanic said or did to repair. But I do remember it wasn't much, and he attributed the issue to the E-15. No problems since using the E-10.

When I travel I'll put the stuff in rental cars, but not using it in my own or company vehicles now.[/QUOTE]
