"The federal government has taken a step toward wide distribution of gasoline with 15 percent ethanol by allowing the biofuel’s manufacturers to register as suppliers."
"Although the Environmental Protection Agency is allowing the registration, E15 proponents still must persuade petroleum marketers to sell it at gas stations.
Most ethanol fuel sold today is 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, which will still be offered. The E15 blend would only be sold for use in 2001-model-year and newer vehicles.
The 20 ethanol makers that have registered so far include large corn ethanol manufacturers such as Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill."
The Kansas City Star had the story April 3, 2012.
