Washington-The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced E15 blends (15 percent ethanol/85 percent gasoline) to be safe for use in all cars and pickups built in 2001 and later. This decision builds upon an October 2010 EPA decision that limited E15 use to just 2007 and newer vehicles. With 2001 and newer cars and pickups included, EPA has approved the use of E15 for 62 percent of vehicles on the road today, according to car industry data.
