EPA urged to mull over ethanol by car manufacturers

Submitted by RositaA on Sat, 10/16/2010 - 01:49

Dependence on foreign oil is a hot topic, however it isn't a new one. Each and every president since Jimmy Carter has said something about yet. Ethanol is one of the many substitute fuels that have been suggested. Most gas stations use E10, or a 10 percent ethanol mixture, in the gas they sell already. The next stage in ethanol, E15, or 15 percent ethanol, is set to be out next year. The EPA is mulling whether to declare it safe for older cars. Auto firms are urging the EPA to wait until enough evidence has been compiled.
