Seems to me, if the EPA wanted to protect small engines, they'd do away
entirely with the ethanol requirement.



Even Al Gore has said the ethanol requirement was a mistake.

Also one big environmental group, can't remember who, has said it.

Get rid of ethanol and all the other boutique grades of gas and there
would be a huge price drop.
