EPA approves higher-ethanol gas blend for more cars
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Friday approved higher levels of corn-based ethanol in gasoline for cars and light-duty trucks made in the past decade.
The agency has decided that 15% ethanol in gasoline, known as E15, is safe for such vehicles made between 2001 and 2006. In October, it approved this blend -- higher than the 10% it previously allowed -- for cars and light-duty manufactured since 2007, but it postponed its use in older cars pending additional tests by the U.S. Department of Energy.

On a personal note, i guess my 1996 and 1995 cars (my only vehicles) will just have to suffer. Thanks farmers, for ruining soda, cars, and most of america in general.
