Politics, protection of corn farmers & its lobbying may be the primary reasons for the ammendments in the US Clean Air Act way back '90s. Though there is no visible intent to reverse, the lobbying remains...
Ethanol Producer Magazine – The Latest News and Data About Ethanol Production
Now, lemme throw you this question: WHY did Ph, not a corn growing nation, follow the US?
Do you know we have to import ethanol to blend w/ petrol since our ethanol production from sugarcane and molasses is currently not enough?
In 2015, 8 ethanol plants with a combined capacity of 222 million liters (58.65 million gallons) were operating to produce 168 million liters of ethanol, up 46 percent when compared to the 115 million liters produced in 2014. Still far from enough. Still importing.
Ph fuel ethanol imports, reached 339 million liters in 2014, fell 8 percent in the last Q of 2015, reaching 311 million liters. Imports from the U.S. fell by an estimated 28 percent, from 246 million liters in 2014 to 178 million liters in 2015. That year, the U.S still accounted for 57 percent of total fuel ethanol imports, down from 73 percent in 2014.

Back to the question.....WHY???? Conspiracy theories will connect these 2 facts: Ethanol production is big business & our congress is packed w/ 'geniuses'.[emoji17]
And, you know why Blaze has no ethanol? Coz Ramon Ang, a mech engineer, collector & enthusiast, knows what his cars won't need.[emoji12]
