API Downstream Group Director Bob Greco told reporters EPA is right to use its waiver authority to set the requirements below the original congressional mandate, calling it an acknowledgment of the «market limitations of the ethanol blend wall» — the amount of ethanol that can be safely blended
into the fuel supply as E10 gasoline that's standard across the country.
Rather, the agency set ethanol requirements higher and higher with no apparent regard for falling U.S. gasoline consumption, allowing the RFS to drive the country headlong toward the «ethanol blend wall» — and potential harms from forcing more ethanol
into the fuel supply than it can safely absorb.
Mandating the use of renewable fuels has, thus far, been a failed experiment; the lack of commercial - scale cellulosic biofuels plants in the U.S. has left it unclear if even a drop of cellulosic biofuel was blended

Last week the EPA dismissed a petition by the American Petroleum Institute seeking relief from the cellulosic ethanol mandate, which requires that oil refiners blend 8.65 million gallons of ethanol
into the fuel supply by the end of 2012:
Congress in 2007 required that refiners blend 36 billion gallons of ethanol
into fuel supply by 2022.
