EPA approves higher ethanol blend for new vehicles
The EPA on Wednesday allowed E-15 fuel, fifteen percent ethanol, for cars and light trucks built since 2007, with testing continuing for 2001 to 2006 models. The ruling excludes older vehicles, heavy trucks, and small engines. Readiness, labeling changes, and state legislation may delay availability, while industry officials project growth in ethanol plant demand and vehicle compatibility through 2014. Kansas plants, including Liberal and Garden City sites, stand to gain from increased production to meet demand for the new blend.
