Efforts to increase ethanol from 10% to 15% BAD for boats!

Here in Oregon, the state legislature has tossed around the idea of repealing the statewide mandate of E10. There have been so many complaints about the drop in fuel economy with E10 that some in government are thinking about undoing the recent mandate that all gas stations pump E10. Those of us with older cars (pre fuel-injected carburetors) and certainly boaters are hoping that the legislature will follow through with this repeal. Will the fed overrule the states in this? I hope not.
