E5 only available in super fuels.

I posted this on the Ducati forum and there is a guy there who claims he worked in developing this stuff to combat and reckons its the only one that works. Says it doesn't need to be added all the time, only when the fuel is likely to be standing for a while.

Ethanol is the worst thing that has happened to fuel imho

It’s a short sighted political movement that has put pressure on food prices in South America, causing some of the worlds poorest people to be even further affected. It’s green house savings have largely been offset by forest clearing to make way for crops. It requires different fuel system components due to it being a corrosive solvent and it is a f**king nightmare to firefight. Normal firefighting foams are largely ineffective and if you have ethanol in any significant quantities you have to stock a seperate foam to combat it.

I hate the whole movement to have this in fuel
