Environmental Working Group publishes reports on risks of E15, E20 in legacy US auto fleet; free download

In Illinois, the Environmental Working Group published its report on the risks to health as well as auto safety and performance poses by a conversion to E15 and E20 ethanol blends. According to the report,  “the U.S. legacy fleet is too diverse to predict E15/E20 impacts from the limited available data. Until these data are generated and assessed, consumer safety, public health, and environmental protection may be at risk from adoption of mid-level ethanol blends.”

The report is accessible here.
