It's a push for "greener" fuels.
Calling it E15 is just a renaming of the stuff that's called E85 in the mid-west. Currently the maximum mixture is up to 10% ethanol. They want it to go to 15%.
The big problem is that the higher the ethanol content, the lower your MPG!
Dumb fucks THINK it's cleaner but due to the higher volume consumed the emissions of hydrocarbons go up in volume.
It's the same flawed thinking that has spawned the higher content of bio-diesel mixtures. Same result too. Lower MPG and higher overall emissions in the end.
