Ethanol in U.S.
The EPA is pushing for gasoline in US to have 15% ethanol. This is a 50% increase over the current 10%.
Senate bill 344 is in US Senate now and calls for a prohibition on EPA's being able to increase ethanol to more than 10%.
Contact your US senators (both) and US Congressperson to get this bill passed.

Never over
Debate is never over as long as agri-business, transporters and distributors can increase their profits from selling more ethanol by increasing percentage in gasoline. And politicians can get huge donations from them.

I run E85 (85% Enthonal/15% gas/hydrocarbon) in my benz on a regular. (Portland, Oregon)
Great boost in hp, and cheaper than some Regular (89). Though fuel is burnt fast.
