I bought a lawnmower at Home Depot, and loaded it up for a six-hour trip.

Upon arrival, I opened the box, and directly inside was a small note from the manufacturer saying that the mower had not been approved for E15. ...and that was two years ago.

Having a foreboding sense of the future, I returned it—unused—and bought an electric lawnmower. (Which should outlast the introduction of E20 )
