I'm really glad the government has solved all of the important problems, they must have it all taken care of if they're going to keep throwing good money after bad with ethanol. I'm also glad they force the issue for 2001 and newer cars, as if nobody drives anything older. Even better, I doubt that they fully understand the impact of running E15 on a car not originally designed for it. I bet the automakers love legislation like this, it helps them sell new cars.

Yes, yes and yes.
But unfortunately the availability of "0E" is not supply/demand driven, I believe it can be mandated by governments (state or local). A few states (MA, CA, etc.) have NO 0E stations carrying non-ethanol gas except for a few farm cooperatives for "off road use only". There are a couple of 0E stations in my neck of the woods in NH but it's simpler/easier to simply get the pump stuff, put it in a holding tank and drain out the water/ethanol crap mix from the bottom after letting it sit for a couple of weeks. PITA, but seems to work.
Alternatively you can use 100LL from an airport (AvGas) but that stuff is not cheap and it will kill your catylitics in a vehicle so equipeed. Works great in my motorcycle though.
