Anyone read the article in the Star and Trib, "Ethanol blend is required diet starting Sunday" by Bob von Sternberg?

The article states that "Under federal regulations the Twin Cities regioin is one of 39 metro areas where the new fuel blends must be sold for those three months (Nov 1 and Jan 31)."

Has the media been talking about this inclusion of ethanol in all gasoline lately and I have just missed it, or is this being quietly sprung on us all?

If I understand the article right as a car owner and gasoline user I now have no choice but to
use ethanol blended gasoline.  If ethanol blend affects my cars operation adversely that's too bad for me.

Maybe I'm overreacting to the situation : )

Anyone else have any insight on this issue??
