So, E15 isn't suggested for technical reasons, but to solve the problem of meeting an arbitrary mandate for 36 billion gallons of "renewable" fuel?

I used to feel so fortunate to live in "modern" times rather than some backwards era, but increasingly I get the feeling that I'm closer to the caveman end of human history than the enlightened end.

Maybe they could achieve the renewables target by decreasing fuel economy, hah!
