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.
My cycle is already having issues with e-10. Great. Just great. People are such sheep.
