Legal challenge to EPA’s E15 scheme picks up steam

CFACT News -- Federal appeals court judges recently heard a challenge to the Obama EPA’s approval of E15, a blend of 85 percent gasoline and 15 percent ethanol, to be sold in cars from the model year 2001 and newer. EPA claims it has the power under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to grant waivers allowing the sale of the new blend in certain vehicles. Currently, ethanol is not allowed to comprise more than 10 percent of the fuel when it is blended with gasoline sold at the pump.

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,045 Points:2,346,485 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: May 21, 2012 2:08:00 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse No fuel from food! No E15, E10 and No government subsidies either! Ethanol represents more hassle for the consumer and the economy. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible! The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
