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

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
