Even China Requires Cleaner Auto Fuels:  Why do Americans accept known human carcinogens as octane enhancers? 

1,200 new cars hit Beijing every day: state media

Even china is requiring vehicles to use cleaner fuels. Ethanol higher blends are the cleanest fuels significantly reducing particulates, benzene and other carcinogens, and hydrocarbon emissions causing birth defects also. Americans and the ethanol industry must demand policies that require cleaners fuels and reject big oil's self serving contention that carcinogenic reformate octane enhancers used to replace lead make gasoline a green fuel. Higher ethanol blend's lower volatility and use as an octane enhancer to replace current benzene spiked octane enhancers and reduces birth defects, cancers and health care costs. more
