Ethanol E15 or E20
Has anyone tried these higher percentages in a vehicle that isnt flex fuel?
E15 is .70 cheaper than E10 at one of my local stations. I currently run Chevy pickups from 2004 and 1994.

Re: Ethanol E15 or E20
On those earlier vehicles, watch the rubber fuel hoses for deterioration and cracking.
Ethanol is hard on those non spec rubber lines. Just my 2 cents worth

Re: Ethanol E15 or E20
The 2004 might be ok, but I wouldn't on the 1994 model. I have a feeling you are going to find that your mileage suffers enough to offset the difference in price.
