In response, the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Renewable Fuels Association charged that the study was fundamentally flawed. The study claims mechanical damage and suggests degraded engine performance, emissions and durability on conventional vehicles from the use of E15 or E20 fuel. We believe the study is significantly flawed.
