Will EPA ignore critical problems that are causing human health and environmental
problems?
gasohol (reformulated gas)
is now proven by the same agencies who promoted it to be a "serious"
environmental and health risk.... hear it from them below:
In Wisconsin:
The DNR issued a report in
September that said E-10 will lead to poor air quality in Wisconsin. The
report predicted manufacturers and electric utilities would be saddled with
more environmental regulations to offset ethanol pollution and E-10 could
result in ozone health advisories that cover more counties.

Then why does Wisconsin require it????
The Wisconsin Department of
Administration (DOA) shall require all state employees to utilize gasohol (any
motor fuel containing at least 10% alcohol) or alternative fuel for the
operation of all state-owned or state-leased motor vehicles whenever such
utilization is feasible. The DOA encourages state employees to use gasohol or
alternative fuels in such vehicles. The DOA also encourages the use of gasohol
and alternative fuels by officers and employees who use personal motor
vehicles on state business and by residents of Wisconsin in general.
(Reference Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 16, Section 16.045)

HISTORY
gasohol
(http://www.encyclopedia.com)
gasoline extender made from a mixture of
gasoline (90%) and
ethanol (10%; often
obtained by fermenting agricultural crops or crop wastes) or gasoline (97%)
and
methanol , or wood
alcohol (3%). Gasohol has higher octane, or antiknock, properties than
gasoline and burns more slowly, coolly, and completely, resulting in reduced
emissions of some pollutants, but it also vaporizes more readily, potentially
aggravating ozone pollution in warm weather. Ethanol-based gasohol is
expensive and energy intensive to produce, and can damage rubber seals and
diaphragms and certain finishes if the ethanol is present in higher
concentrations. Since 1998, however, many American automobiles have been
equipped to enable them to run on E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15%
gasoline. Methanol-based gasohol is also expensive to produce and is toxic and
corrosive, and its emissions produce cancer-causing formaldehyde.
