On January 21, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced E15 blends (15% ethanol/85% gasoline) to be safe for use in all cars and pickups built in 2001 and later. This decisions 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% of vehicles on the road today according to car industry data. If E15 were used in all vehicles covered by this decision, the theoretical blend wall for ethanol use would be approximately 17.5 billion gallons.
