Many car, boat, motorcycle, aircraft and other internal combustion engines require ethanol-free fuel, E0, to run properly. E0 gasoline is becoming a scarce commodity, due to the unintended consequences of the federal RFS mandate in EISA 2007, which was meant to spur E85 production and distribution and sale of flex-fuel vehicles. Since E85 vehicles remain a small fraction of the national fleet, E10 fuel production has exploded to meet the state-by-state volumetric ethanol requirement. If ethanol-free gasoline disappears in the retail market, a large number of vehicles will be rendered inoperable or will operate at severely reduced performance and incur higher maintenance costs.
Sign this petition to ask the Administration and EPA to insure that E0 is widely available!
