Ethanol....why can't we get rid of it?  I wonder if St Louis has a waiver again this year?  last year they did....see below...

"Kansas City Ozone Exemption Sought   Date: April 1, 2008
   With ozone season beginning Tuesday, Kansas City officials say they need to know soon whether Missouri Governor Matt Blunt will issue a waiver on the use of a new ethanol blend gas. A new Missouri law requires the ethanol blend -- called E10 -- to be used at most of the state's gasoline pumps. The fuel is seen as a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil, but it also creates more smog. Kansas City officials say they need a waiver from the law because the city already violates the Clean Air law during the summer, when ozone is worse. The Missouri governor has issued a waiver for St. Louis, but so far has not done the same for Kansas City. Blunt spokeswoman Nancy Gonder says the governor is considering the request."

Why is smog good any where?  Isn't that why the car industry have set standards????

I've read recent articles where there is a push to up the percentage to 15%.  That's 50% higher ethanol than today.
