don't change anything until after the law goes into effect. No way toyota knows if the current 2012's can take it either.

if you are just talking to a salesman, he's just trying to say anything to sell you a car.

From what I remember about the ethanol debate, the average car can deal with 15% or so I think. Either way though, the 2012's can't deal with anything the previous models can't deal with.

If they could you would be seeing a massive ad campaign for it.

if i recall looking at the gas cap in my 2012 yaris, it can't use anymore then 10% as well... so i dont believe the government, would mandate us to use it, considering most vehicles cant run it. and i highly doubt they will pay for each and every U.S citizen to buy a car that can handle more then 10% ethanol.

You have to remember that this is a State government and not a Federal government issue that could become mandated. Just take a look at California. They have many laws that extend well above the national "standards" even though some of them cost their tax payers a great deal more to do so.
