This Will Have Consequences

EPA's 15% corn-liquor rule may stand, said a Fed appeals court.

...E15 causes serious problems. The same people who manufacture the engines which have to burn these modified fuels have told us that as many as 5 million cars from 2001 and beyond could have their engines damaged by the hotter running fuel.

[That is to say, cars manufactured in 2001 and before].

The AVERAGE car on US roads today is slightly over 10 years old--built in 2002 or so. 

EPA will place 5 million vehicles which are serviceable and serving, but not showpieces, at risk of melted-engine syndrome.

Did the EPA order a few hundred thousand rounds of .357 like Social Security did? 

They may need it.
