Motorcycle Industry Council on Ethanol

Recently the Motorcycle Industry Council, American Lung Association, the Sierra Club, the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association and many other seemingly diverse groups pushed the US Government for more testing of ethanol. Currently the folks in Washington limit ethanol in fuel mixtures to 10% except for the special 85% flex-fuel.

Ethanol supporters are telling the government that the 10% limit could be extended to 15% and even as high as 30% without causing damage to engines. The Motorcycle Industry Council, with several others are concerned that the blend mixture will change, raising the potential of damaging motorcycle and other small engines. More testing is being performed before further consideration is given.
