E15 will replace E10! EPA deadline for comments =5/21/2009.
This month, on April 21st, 2009, ACE, Growth Energy and 54 ethanol producers submitted a formal waiver application to the EPA, to get approval to increase E10 to E15. If approved, gas will contain 5% more ethanol.
EPA deadline for public comments is May 21st 2009, less than 1 month away.
Increasing E10 to E15 makes no sense and will be costly for all consumers.
- Not a single conventional engine manufacturer approves of use of gas with 15% ethanol. Legal max is up to 10%...
- High levels of alcohol damages engine parts and increases risk of water absorption...
- Ethanol blends have lower energy and reduce mpg...
And many more reasons why we must stop EPA approval of E15.
If you oppose E15, we strongly advise all concerned citizens to review and respond to the EPA, as soon as possible.
E10 was approved by the EPA without restrictions, because no opposition was submitted - Do not let this happen again!

Notices are on EPA's website and in the Federal Register. Page URL keeps changing (reason we placed copy of official notice on our website). When I last checked EPA had it here: http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/...y-21/a9115.htm
