The intelligent solution is to not mandate E15 at all. Let the station owners decide if they want to sell E15, and run it on a dedicated pump. Further, E10 should not be required, but be an option that stations and consumers can choose for their vehicles.

E15 cannot be required because many cars are not designed to run on greater than E10 as stated by the owners manual, my TSX included. There is no chance of the EPA passing this mandate, so no reason to worry about it.

I'd really like to see either the EPA, or CARB go away; preferrably CARB.
