EPA to protect small engines

"EPA requires that retail stations that own or operate blender pumps either dispense E15 from a dedicated hose and nozzle if able or, in the case of E15 and E10 being dispensed from the same hose, require that at least four gallons of fuel be purchased to prevent vehicles and engines with smaller fuel tanks from being exposed to gasoline-ethanol blended fuels containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol." to me, if the EPA wanted to protect small engines, they'd do away entirely with the ethanol requirement.

so the environmentalists were (almost) correct the whole time: reduce, reuse, recycle

and they should have added repair, although that could fit in reuse

Until some reference shows that it's true, I'm not buying it. Certainly ethanol has been leaving distilleries for industrial use forever. What does he claim they do with ethanol going into a company using it in a chemical manufacturing process? Put gasoline in that too?

Amen!!! Get them all out until we get a set of law makers who will take on issues with an open mind and make intelligent decisions that work for the people rather than their party, supporters, or PACs.
