"         The E15 controversy has finally resulted in a decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but one that&amp;#039;s likely to please no one but the corn lobby. As noted here in previous items, the question revolved around whether our country&amp;#039;s ethanol-extended gasoline, currently E10, i.e., 10-percent ethanol, should be allowed to rise to E15, a 15-percent dose\u2014said another way, a 50-percent increase in the use of this alcohol extender.   Just about everyone from automakers to small engine manufacturers to environmentalists have said they&amp;#039;re against E15. Those in favor are corn farmers and ethanol investors. The latter are currently caught up in a glut of ethanol, at least in part because E85 requiring special Flex-Fuel cars hasn&amp;#039;t gained popularity as proponents\u2014and the U.S. Congress\u2014anticipated.   EPA&amp;#039;s announcement is particularly puzzling as it encourages E15\u2014but only in cars of 2007 model year or newer. How gasoline stations are to cope with this together with older cars&amp;#039; refueling is unclear.   Do you suppose there&amp;#039;s anything but political maneuvering in this?
