Ethanol mix opposed by auto industry

The auto industry has stepped up its efforts against putting more ethanol in regular gasoline, joining a coalition of vehicle and engine makers calling for more studies of how much damage such fuels could cause.

The Alliance for a Safe Alternative Fuels Environment (AllSAFE) won a victory last week when a U.S. House committee approved a bill requiring the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to hold public hearings before approving any changes in gasoline-ethanol blends.
