In Minnesota, the Minnesota Street Rod Association’s legislative committee is doing what they can to lobby state legislators to block any such rule at the state level. It was their efforts that got the 10% ethanol law modified to allow ethanol-free premium to be sold in Minnesota. This group also is talking to our representatives and senators at the state level to try to keep the feds from legislating mandatory ethanol-gasoline mixes.

SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Assn) recognizes the old car hobby as a multimillion dollar part of our national economy and lobbies at the state and federal level for ethanol free gas and other legislation friendly to the old car hobby. Below are sites run by SEMA’s Action Network for this purpose:

Here is a site with a similar effort to our Minnesota laws in the state of Maine:

Below is a site that addresses the problem at the federal level – they ask you to comment to the fed govt by April 22nd (Hurry up!) via this site:

Here is the link from the end of the above site to voice your concerns directly to the Feds:
