Submitted comments to EPA and NHTSA on the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Standard rule for 2017-2025, requesting: 1.For internal combustion engines, the new rule will require higher octane fuels. The rule should ensure that refiners use clean octane alternatives instead of dirty octane (petroleum-based aromatics) to boost gasoline octane. Replacing aromatics with upwards of 30% ethanol (E30+ blends) over a period of time in FFVs will help meet the Agencies goals of reducing petroleum use and harmful tailpipe emissions. 2.Automakers must be provided sufficient incentives to commit to aggressive FFV production for model years 2016 and beyond.
