That's part of the text of Oregon's ethanol mandate, showing specific exemptions from E10 use. Here's the text of the quoted law here: http://www.leg.state.or.us/08ss1/mea.../sb1079.en.pdf . The other bills are HB 2210 and HB 3400.

However, a local farmer's co-op has no problem filling my car with E0. Just in case, I have gas cans that hold enough to fill my tank.
