Since the Environmental Protection Agency approved E15 ethanol fuel, which is a 15% Ethanol and 85% Gasoline blend, for sale, only 10 filling stations in the U.S. are currently offering the fuel. Major auto manufacturers have said the fuel could cause damage to a majority of the older cars on the road, while several manufacturers have stated they will not cover any engine damage caused by the new blend.
"It is clear that millions of Americans are unfamiliar with E15, which means there is a strong possibility that many motorists may improperly fill up using this gasoline and damage their vehicle," said AAA President & CEO Robert Darbelnet. "Bringing E15 to the market without adequate safeguards does not responsibly meet the needs of consumers."
