The EPA regulations do not allow it to grow any larger.

Now you're really making stuff up...

No it is well documented fact.

E15 is approved for light-duty vehicles from model year 2001 and up and
all Flex-fuel vehicles. That group constitutes roughly 75% of the
vehicles currently on the road and over 85% of the unleaded gasoline
sold in the US.


The EPA requires gas stations to sell what older cars use. E15
is optional if the gas station wants to make a five figure investment
in new infrastructure. That is just as good as a ban.


The fact is you won't find any E15 gas sold or much E85 either, because
the EPA rules make it too costly and impractical. It is deliberate
sabotage.

Back in the 90's the EPA allowed oil companies to dump as much MTBE
as they wanted into gas because MTBE was a profitable product for
the oil cos. Never mind that MTBE was more destructive to engines
and decreased fuel mileage more than ethanol. And the EPA knew it
would contaminate aquifers and cause cancer. The only thing the EPA
cares about is what suits big business.

The EPA has no interest in protecting the environment. If
the EPA wanted to protect the environment they would have
long ago sided with technology that increased engine efficiency.
Instead they have at every turn blocked technology that
increased efficiency.

Ethanol is tolerated because a limited amount is profitable
for oil cos. It saves on refining costs. But the EPA won't allow
its use to the point where it increases efficiency or cuts into
oil cos. profits.
