IL SR0634

Urges Congress to pass H.R. 875 to scientifically determine the effects of E-15 fuel on internal combustion engines of all types.

Notes that no motorcycles (on-road, off-road, or off-highway) have been tested for E-15 usage and no motorcycle manufacturers currently advocate fuel higher than E-10.

Cites studies by the National Marine Manufacturers Association and Outdoor Power Equipment Institute concluding that E-15 is detrimental to marine and small engine motors.

Identifies that 14 auto manufacturers warn E-15 may void vehicle warranties, while only 2 manufacturers say E-15 will not affect warranties in some 2012 and newer models.

Notes that AAA advises its 53 million members against using E-15 until current issues and concerns are addressed.
