This year, we could hit a wall—the ethanol "blendwall." This is the point at which fuel manufacturers could be forced to use more than 10% of ethanol in your vehicle's fuel.
The Renewable Fuel Standard was passed by Congress to increase the nation's use of biofuels. This standard mandated that gradually increasing amounts of biofuels be blended into gasoline and diesel. However, when they set this arbitrary amount, they didn't realize that the amount of gasoline and diesel we are using is steadily decreasing. In short, there is not enough gasoline and diesel to absorb the biofuel.
Time is running out. Tell Congress to do a "U-turn" and repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard before we hit the ethanol blendwall.
Failure to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard this year will create big problems for consumers like you:
| • | Ethanol blends above 10% could damage millions of vehicles on the road today and void engine warranties; |
| • | Higher ethanol blends could harm gas station infrastructure; |
| • | The economic damage will impact everyone. |
The answer is clear: The RFS is an unworkable federal mandate that must be repealed. Take action today!
Sincerely,
Energy Citizens
