E10 Ethanol, bad for your engine & economy? [MERGED]

[CVT]

In other threads new Hyundai Tucson owners were experiencing problems with our diesel fuel here. Something about water contamination. Older diesel walang problem. Sayang ganda pa naman porma Tucson

For gas, Blaze pa rin. Anyone having problems with E10 might want to try loading with Petron's Blaze.

Layo naman ng Sucat UniOil. Wala na mas malapit? QC?

Bro., ang pagkakaalam ko,- puro gasolina pa rin ang mga new Tucsons na lumabas dito sa atin... Si Bro. SG pa lang ang naka-diesel..... Wala naman siyang problema so far....

had to waste gas this weekend...

malapit na mag 2 weeks yung tangke kaya ayun. zoom zoom zoom!

grrr.

and it's not advisable in the mz2 to take in high-octane fuel like blaze... so I guess pa tingi tingi lang dapat karga

[pat_17]

Compatible po kaya yung Lancer Singkit and Toyota Corolla Small Body sa E10 na to?

May mga naging problem po ba?

I believe by Feb 2011 E10 will not be available but it will be replace by E15

Where did you read that?

From the documents I was able to read, the current policy ends at implementing E10 gasoline.

^^^ Bro red_baron,- Ano, totoo ba itong e15 na sinasabi mo?....

O haka-haka lang...

might be true since minimum of 10% ang mandated sa biofuels law 4 years from date of implementation.

But where in the bio-fuels law is the 15% mix mandated?

It doesn't benefit the petroleum company to go beyond the required 10% unless they want their customers to buy more ethanol mixed gasoline because E15 will definitely result in less mileage per full tank of gasoline.

Once customers detect they are getting less mileage, they will surely change to other brands.

[normanenoza]

well my understanding for the minimum 10% is that petroleum companies can go beyond E10 as they see fit. its actually a loop hole. the law shall be ammended if they want oil companies to stop at 10%. it shall be revised to "maximum 10%".

It is set as a minimum (10%) because the bio-fuels law was written with intentions to increase the ethanol mix higher than 10% on a later date.

Maybe it's time to review the Biofuels Law. I don't see the benefits we expected. Imported pa rin naman pati ethanol. It's a bust.

They should have reviewed thoroughly it before passing it as a law.

Anyway, it is never late to review it.

Biofuel programs require more than passing of a law. In our case, a law that is lacking.

They can learn from innovation systems approach. It will tell them that there are other actors in the system that needs to be involved to make this work.

I'm quite puzzled by the post regarding the E15. Is it in any possible ways, gonna be implemented this year ?

doubt it. Our current clean air laws stops at the implemention of E10 gasoline.

[crazy_boy]

i was in tagaytay yesterday. and when i stopped at Total, i was a banner saying "ethanol free". i wonder if this applies to all Total stations.

I doubt it. It probably means just that specific gas station.

[renzo_d10]

I'm still fueling up Shell Unleaded which is currently still ethanol-free at our place. ;)

[diesoline]

I doubt it. It probably means just that specific gas station.

i just saw the total station in baguio with an "ethanol free" tarp too.

this is a welcome development, imo. it means that total recognizes the need of motorists for a choice whether to go ethanol free or not..

[gaspanic]

I gas up at Jetti daanghari

2 types yung unleaded nila, e10 at pure gasoline.
0.1 peso cheaper yung e10.
