Yes.
But the consortium is trying to dig in their heels and not sell E-85.
Part of that is they are really scared of all the lawsuits when people get burned up in car fires and huge class action suits when engines start dying left and right and the manufacturers won't warranty them because the crappy fuel killed the engines.
That and none of them want the reputation as the company that sells garbage fuel that doesn't make very much power and doesn't get good mileage.
The irony is that two of the oil companies fighting E-85 MAKE ethanol.
They make the crap and still don't want to sell it at 15%.
