And if someone only has $4 to put gas in their scooter how will they be able to do that with a 4 gallon minimum purchase? I haven't figured that one out yet.

They can't. Even if they wanted to, it's a physical impossibility.

This is why the E15 thing, especially when considered with blender pumps, is so maniacally retarded.

The gas tank on a scooter frequently holds about a gallon. Many motorcycles have gas tanks that are well under 4 gallons. And if the person ahead of you bought E15 (or E85), that's what you're going to get in your scooter or motorcycle.

...which, in time, will blow up, because you've been running too much ethanol through it. And who's going to foot the bill for repairs? The manufacturer is off the hook - they specified no ethanol over 10%. Is the EPA going to pay for all these repairs, because it was their policy that guaranteed widespread engine destruction?
