Senator Thule thinks a 15% blend will work in your hot rod just fine.
Oh, golly gee, imagine that, presidential wannabe Ironic Johnny is against (Obama’s) EPA. But I am sure if it was (Bush’s) EPA he would be all for it;
Sen. John Thune isn’t satisfied with the Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of a higher concentration of ethanol in gasoline for newer cars.
The South Dakota Republican says numerous tests have demonstrated that mixtures with up to 15 percent of the corn-based fuel also are suitable for older on-road vehicles.
The current maximum blend is 10 percent. The EPA announced Wednesday that the higher blend will be approved for vehicles manufactured since 2007.
Thune says limiting the approval to only vehicles made since 2007 will have little effect on the production and use of E15 and will lead to consumer confusion at the gas pump.
So we should have just kept it at 10%? John, you are making no sense at all. While I agree that ‘some’ older vehicles can use a 15% blend safely, some cannot. And by just having a blanket endorsement that ALL vehicles that are older then 2007 can use the product safely is bogus. I wonder what kind of performance Rocco would get from using a 15% blend in his RT?
