Re: E-10 Gasoline The New Standard April 1st
 

I still say it's an april fools gag.
(although not out of the range of government stupidity)

Found some state madates
http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006...ethanol_m.html

Going E-10 increases NOx
http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/p...-e85.6392.html

Interesting read.

MTBE is bad stuff and getting rid of it is a good thing. But I'm not
convinced alcohol and increased NOx is the answer.
