Default Ethanol nightmare is here now!

Yep...guilty as charged.

I must admit, I wasn't paying close attention with regards to the E10
concept as we were using 100LL exclusively. When the lead fouling
cramped up an exhaust guide, I re-thought our fuel use and went to Mogas
in 2007, saving money and headaches. We have had an EPA E10 mandate in
our area in the past, but are no longer a "non-attanment area" so it was
lifted about 8 years ago.

I don't recall seeing details on the 9 billion gallon E10 mandate that
was enacted in December 2007 in the ng, but I could be wrong. And it
wasn't brought to light over the last week when the fuel industry
entered their first "April through September" reporting period.

Hopefully everyone in the group will forgive me for bringing this up again.
