EPA to announce decision on higher ethanol blends

The Environmental Protection Agency said it will announce by Tuesday’s deadline whether it will allow an increase in the amount of ethanol mixed into gasoline, The Detroit News reported.
The EPA was asked by an ethanol trade association to increase the amount of ethanol that can be mixed with most gasoline sold at pumps to as much as 15 percent, a mix known as E15, the paper said. Most pumps already sell E10, which is 10 percent ethanol, the News said.
An EPA spokeswoman said Monday that “EPA remains committed to making an announcement by the deadline of Dec. 1,” the paper said. Automakers want the agency to further study the effects of the proposed increase before allowing it to happen, the story said. (The Detroit News)
