House Approves SAN Supported Measure to Suspend EPA E15 Program; Senate Action
Next
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a provision to prevent the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using agency funds to permit an
increase in the amount of ethanol content in gasoline to 15% (E15). B The
provision is part of a larger bill to fund the federal government during
fiscal year 2011 which must also be approved by the U.S. Senate. The SEMA
Action Network (SAN) requested this action and worked hard to secure the vote.
B When signed into law by President Obama, this timely legislation will
protect automotive enthusiasts and consumers from misfueling and other
unnecessary harm. B
On behalf of millions of auto enthusiasts across the country, SAN applauds the
House of Representatives for acknowledging the need for more unbiased and
independent testing on the impact of E15 on vehicles and engines. B The
provision suspends EPAC"b,b"s premature efforts to permit E15 in the
marketplace in fiscal year 2011. B The SAN is now working to help pass a newly
introduced bill (HR 748) to repeal the EPA E15 program altogether.
The SAN will continue to take proactive steps in Washington, D.C. to oppose
E15 until there are conclusive scientific findings that demonstrate that it
will not harm automobiles of any age as a result of corrosion or other
chemical incompatibilities.
Please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. B Urge them to join
the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
