"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.
