Ethanol mixes ok in Jeep?

[GRAK]

Would like to assume US made cars should be ok, but some imports may start throwing codes? Haven’t had time to look it up properly yet anyone have any input? Heard bad for gaskets & orings

Owners manual say the 2.0t can run up to 15% ethanol. Not sure about the v-6.

E15 is stupid, May be cheaper, but a reduction in mileage and not acceptable in Non Flex Fuel rated vehicles. E10 is max ethanol permitted by many manufacturers.

Same for the 3.6 v6. 0-15% ethanol

Pretty old, but...?

Ethanol has been in fuel at up to 10% for decades in many places. 15% is perfectly fine, it’s a non issue.

All of a sudden you’ll see manufacturers move the numbers up to E15. Glad I live where I live, and can get 100% gas at a normal price.

E15 will be higher Octane than the same mix of E10. All fuel stuff is very confusing for people.

Ethanol free gas is basically 90 octane. Which is lower than recommended in many jeeps.

I can get pure gas, but it's $1 more per gallon, and yes it's 90 octane. I usually just get it for the lawn equipment and tractor.

Biden ‘s new game changer with E15 will kill your motor. Stay away, its a trick to get more people to move to electric. Which is old bad trick, stay away from oil based fuels. Google fossil fuels 2030, its a plan to remove gas fuel cars and trucks from the system.

Tuners have been running E30 or E85, especially in boosted applications for the last 2 decades with huge success. It's higher octane, it runs much cooler, and as a result is much more resistant to knock. Yes it results in lower fuel efficiency. Yes it is hydrophilic, which is not good for vehicles that sit a lot or in very humid environments. Our jlu is boosted, rarely does a tank of fuel last more than 2 weeks, and humidity is almost nonexistent out west. It won't kill your engine, and especially in a turbo ot will likely make it live a longer, happier, and more powerful life.

Personally I'd prefer E0, put gasoline in the automobile, and Corn and EtOH in the people.

That being said, E10 has been the standard for decades and consistently used in my 02 Civic (270K mi) with no issues. I don't know if I buy the "high humidity" argument as I've lived in FL for as long as they've mixed in Ethanol and never had any issues. Given that the Jeep manual gives the thumbs up to E15, I'll use it in mine without reservation.

Edit: As I understand it the ~$0.10 savings per gallon will be evaporated by the lower fuel mileage.

What do you suggest? My rig burns oil.

This.

But Government: "At a time when food prices are facing crippling inflationary pressures, let's take more of that food and make fuel from it."
