[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 110609, member: 1632"] Robert, You've pointed out two other annoying thing in all this. Blender pumps. The EPA's response to concerns about possible mis-fueling from blender pumps is pump a minimum of 4 gallons, which is roughly 16 liters, when refueling. That's all well and good when filling up my car which has a 12 or 13 gallon tank. So if the guy in front used E15 and I want E0 I only only 4.5% of my fuel is ethanol at most. But I paid the premium price for all 13 gallons and a third of it is E15. Now to bikes. My tank doesn't hold 13 gallons it holds 4 at most. I paid for premium and got the residue from the last fueling, even though I selected the premium button. So I mis-fuel and pay a premium to do so. Steven [/QUOTE]
