Certainly good news for NY riders & those passing through who are fueling up in state.
Unfortunately there are potentially 49 other states that could allow it to be sold.
AMA has a big task ahead, if/when other states get sucked in by the "Corn Lobby"...:AGGHH:

I don't know why NY is stoping it. Seems like a good thing to grow even more food [Corn] to burn up in gas tanks.... Maybe 15% Bacon would have been a better idea..

When riding up-state, all Stewart's have 91 methanol free fuel. And YES you can feel a noticeable difference in performance. :clapping:

What's even stranger is, way upstate NY, a month ago, I noticed plenty of gas stations that had Super available that were Ethenol Free. Not sure why downstate is different.

Depends on County regs. Too many tree huggers down state.

"Even though the new fuel is coming to market, the gasoline or E10 you fill your tank with now will still be available. There is a twist, though. At gas stations that use blender pumps (a single spout that dispenses all octanes) you'll have to purchase at least 4 gallons of E10 to insure any E15 in the hose is diluted to safe levels in your fuel tank."

Hopefully, you don't select E15 by mistake. '...ethanol is fairly corrosive to rubber and certain metals... If your vehicle sits for long periods between use, the moisture settles to the bottom of the tank and can potentially clog in-tank pumps and filters. Ethanol forms a brown goo when left in a fuel tank too long, which can clog fuel-system components. Use a fuel stabilizer if the engine will sit for more than a few weeks without use; this will reduce the ethanol–water separation and potential gumming issues.'
