The American Coalition for Ethanol launched an online petition this week to gather signatures in favor of the move to E15. ACE contacted its membership on Wednesday morning encouraging people to sign, and in less than 48 hours, more than 2,800 names have been added.
ACE hopes to gather as many signatures as possible to demonstrate ethanol's widespread grassroots support. The U.S. EPA is currently considering a waiver that would allow up to 15 percent ethanol per gallon of gasoline, moving beyond the current limit of 10 percent per gallon set in the 1970s.
The petition is found at www.ethanol.org/petition or by visiting the E15 Action Center on www.ethanol.org.
