Directions: Are You Ready for the Most Tested Fuel in History?

Autocare Pro News -- One word could sum up the reaction felt by automakers and vehicle enthusiasts alike regarding the dismissal of a lawsuit that would have prohibited the sale of E15 fuel — “disappointing.”

letterchunker Champion Author Texas Posts:2,245 Points:667,675 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Sep 5, 2012 9:20:41 PM Ignore letterchunker Report Abuse I'm just glad I have a station three blocks from my house that sells ethanol free fuel. The fuel cost 2 to 4 cents more than all the other station in my area. Ethanol Free fuel means 20 to 30% higher miles per gallon in my vehicles. It is well worth the price difference. I can only imagine how much E85 would lower my mileage.

No, of course we have no standing even though it is guaranteed. Oh Master EPA, and your wise Emperor who rules over you, be benevolent to us, for we are but poor polluters who have no right even to breathe a single breath without your permission. Forgive us that we ever thought to think that this was a Constitutional Republic, when in fact as the court showed, you are "the boss of us".
