"In 2009, the ethanol industry petitioned EPA to approve a blend up to 15% ethanol in gasoline, from the current cap of 10%. Raising the blend from E10 to E15 would accelerate the use of renewable fuel, increase energy security, create U.S. jobs, reduce transportation costs, and improve the environment by displacing conventional gasoline with low-carbon ethanol."

Facts?  What useless garbage...  Ethanol reduces the power of the gasoline, and is not good for engines.  The amount of diesel that farmers waste (and that the government subsidizes them for) to farm the corn to make the ethanol is absolutely pathetic.  Of course the ethanol *INDUSTRY* would petition for more of their corn garbage in our fuel.
I'll have to start buying more expensive Pennsylvania or West Virginia gasoline if Ohio is doing the crappy "winter blend" E-15 fuel year round.
