The jury is not in on E10, mandating it is just one more stupid, shoot-in-the-foot action that PC-panicked legislatures are taking without sufficient information. Not that that ever stopped them before.
Ok, keep it at 10%, but how can the jury be out on it? It isn't a price thing. It's about keeping our money here. $700B a year goes for foreign countries from the US I believe. At 10% ethanol -3% lower economy, that's a 7% drop in gas being used. How exactly is that bad, I mean unless you own an oil company?
