Don't blame the oil companies

Almost all gasoline has ethanol in it, generally 10%. Here in Texas, I know the Shell gasoline is blended with ethanol, because it's one of the brands I use.
But don't blame the oil companies. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that increasing volumes of ethanol be blended into gasoline. The required amount was 4 billion gallons in 2006, and increases to 7.5 billion gallons in 2012.
Ethanol doesn't make great gasoline, and it causes many logistical problems for the refiners. But they have no choice.
