National News from The Associated Press

Agriculture Sec Vilsack calls for moving quickly to boost ethanol blend limits in gasoline.

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says the government should be able to move quickly to increase the amount of ethanol allowed in gasoline.

Vilsack told a farmers convention that the cap on ethanol content in gasoline should be increased from 10 percent to 12 percent or 13 percent "fairly quickly" without causing problems to car engines and equipment.

It is up to the Environmental Protection Agency to lift the cap. Ethanol producers urged the agency last week to allow a 15 percent ethanol blend. Automobile and small engine manufacturers said there's no certainty yet that such an increase will not harm engines and fuel lines.
Vilsack spoke to the National Farmers Union annual convention Monday in Arlington, Va.
