^^the CAA was never designed to regulate C02. You don't have to take my word for it though, as that is what the bill's author has stated.

Well, I guess the supreme court had a different interpretation

They also based their judgement on misleading data.

Oh look, they are going to fuck us after all.

"EPA officially approves E15 for sale in U.S. Putting E15 (a mix of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline) on sale in the U.S. has been all but official since April, when the Environmental Protection Agency approved the first applications to make E15. Now, "all but official" has become official, with the EPA giving approval for retailers to start selling the biofuel. Just because stations can, though, doesn't mean that drivers will be able to get E15 right away. It will take time for the increased biofuel blend, made from corn ethanol, to make it to market, even though most gasoline sold at pumps across the U.S. today is E10. Also unsurprisingly, there remain critics of the shift to making E15 available. The EPA, which doesn't require any fuel station to sell anything in particular, admits that E15 should only be used in model year 2001 and newer vehicles. In response to the sales approval, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute released a statement calling E15 "dangerous" and that it might "destroy or damage generators, chain saws, utility vehicles, lawn mowers, boats and marine engines, snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, and more." The EPA does not approve using E15 in these sorts of devices."

I'm getting tired of saying it, but fuck the EPA.

Oh look, in the owners manual of my 2013 brand new car it says, in capital letters "DO NOT USE E15".

Fuck yes! Go go go Maine!

" Maine votes to ban ethanol in gasoline, takes stand against E15 If it can go in your gas tank, it's potentially controversial up in Maine. A few years ago, out-of-spec gas pumps were a problem. Today, the issue is the corn-based biofuel ethanol, which the state legislature is taking a strong stand against. Citing potential engine and environmental damages, Maine's state legislature has taken another step to potential rid itself of ethanol blends into its gasoline inventory. Legislators have approved a bill by more than a 3-to-1 margin that would ban ethanol blends in Maine – as long as two other nearby states do the same, the Bangor Daily News reports. State leaders also supported a resolution urging the government to ban gasoline with a 15 percent ethanol blend (known as E15), altogether. Most gasoline in the US contains up to 10 percent ethanol blend. Maine regulators started talking about a statewide E15 ban early this year. The state said at the time that at least two other New England states would have to go along so that Maine refiners wouldn't have to make a custom blend for the state only, which would cause the state's fuel prices to jump. On the federal level, the word is that E15 is fine. Last June, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially allowed for public sales of E15 as part of an effort to cut foreign-oil dependency. Groups such as AAA have since been critical of the EPA's decision, saying that E15 would cause engine damage as well as food shortages. E15 has been sold in some states since the middle of 2012, starting in Kansas, and there have not been any widespread reports of problems with the biofuel but it's not being sold just like any other fuel. "

It's about time this started being rejected.

So a common "issue" with the FT86 is a squeaky HPFP. They're known as "crickets" in the community. And its said that filling up with ethanol fuel cures this problem. So after driving around for a good 30-40 miles with my fuel light on I filled up 2 days ago at an ethanol free pump 3/4 mile from my office. It's only 90 octane but I thought I would give it a shot (manual calls for 93).

Bad move. Yup, the lack of ethanol solved the problem of crickets! But at what cost? Well, thanks to the lower octane I can notice a slight power difference (I think) and my gas mileage isn't as good. The engine must really not like the lower octane rating
