The U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear an E15-related case, it announced yesterday morning.
The lawsuit relates to EPA’s 2011 finalized waivers to allow for 2001 and newer vehicles to run on higher blends of ethanol up to 15 percent (based on two decisions, one made in 2010 and one in 2011).
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform recently held a hearing to discuss the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) position on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the concerns that EPA’s actions have had on consumers, the vehicle industry and farmers, according to the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA).
Congress and oil producers continue to pressure the EPA on their decision regarding increasing the percentage of ethanol permitted in gasoline.
