I don't know about you, but my Tigers don't like E10 fuel,  now we will
be faced with E15 before too long. This is all due to the corn  ethanol
industry lobbying to bail themselves out of financial  trouble.


EPA Notifies Industry Group on Status of Ethanol Waiver  Request


Release date: 12/01/2009

Contact Information: Deb  Berlin, berlin.deb@epa.gov,  202-564-4914,
202-564-4355


WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA) today
announced that it expects to make a final  determination in mid-2010
regarding whether to increase the allowable  ethanol content in fuel.

In a letter sent today to Growth Energy - a  bio fuels industry
association that had asked EPA to grant a waiver that  would allow for
the use of up to 15 percent of ethanol in gasoline - the  agency said
that while not all tests have been completed, the results of  two tests
indicate that engines in newer cars likely can handle an ethanol  blend
higher than the current 10-percent limit. The agency will decide  whether
to raise the blending limit when more testing data is available.  EPA
also announced that it has begun the process to craft the  labeling
requirements that will be necessary if the blending limit is  raised.

In March 2009, Growth Energy requested a waiver to allow for  the use of
up to 15 percent ethanol in gasoline, an increase of five  percent
points. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA was required to respond to  the
waiver request by December 1, 2009. EPA has been evaluating the  group's
request and has received a broad range of public comments as part  of the
administrative rulemaking process. EPA and the Department of Energy  also
undertook a number of studies to determine whether cars could  handle
higher ethanol blends. Testing has been proceeding as quickly  as
possible given the available testing facilities.
