"Last month, the EPA was asked
"Last month, the EPA was asked by the ethanol producers to approve putting ethanol in gas at 15% (E15), before required testing has been done to see what it will do in engines (new and existing). We are currently being forced E10 in about 75% of the gasoline in the US. There is considerable momentum, political pressure and money behind the ethanol producers to help them get their way.
The EPA is accepting public comments about this proposal until July 20. That means that we all can let EPA know that tests have to be done before E15 should be considered. Sending in your thoughts only has to take a few minutes using the link below from the NMMA. In order to stand a chance at convincing EPA (and Congress) of this need for testing, we need all the letters we can get from the marine perspective. You can customize the message or use the NMMA language in the link. If we are all having headaches with E10, can you imagine E15? Thanks, Mike
