The Alliance for a Safe Alternative Fuels Environment, an alliance of off-road gasoline-consuming product manufacturers, said that more study needed to be done on off-road products before E20 could be deemed acceptable.

The Alliance said that tests needed to be performed on products such as ATVs and weed wackers before E20 could be mandated.
