The latest mandate handed down from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is so ridiculous, even I was shocked. The EPA has now mandated how much gasoline you must buy at certain gas stations. Say hello to the Obama Administration’s four gallon minimum.
This unprecedented EPA overreach applies when filling up at a gas station that provides both E15 and E10, gasoline with 15 or 10 percent of ethanol, respectively, from the same hose.
At the insistence of the ethanol industry, the Obama Administration is pushing E15 into the marketplace, regardless of the serious concerns about the fuel’s impact on drivers. From its inception, E15 is a study in the consequences of government interference in the marketplace. The EPA’s decision to set a minimum purchase requirement is just the most recent example.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I'm trying to understand why any gas station would add this E15 product and confusion. E-10 Ethanol used to ruin the hell out of my accelerator pump on my old boat carb, had to rebuild it every 2-3 years. Ruins gas lines on old chain saws too. You have to use the new teflon types.
This site is supposed to list ethanol free gas stations in CO Sounds like it's only legal to buy in cans or motorcycles. Probably expensive too.

It's almost as if the current administration is deliberately inflating the price of petroleum products, especially gasoline...

Isn't that one of the ways the left thinks we can "wean ourselves off of oil"? Just make it to expensive and the masses will just ride bikes and electric cars... simple.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
