While I do not know for sure I think they can get away with that in Maine because of the less dense population areas compared to Illinois for example. Less people+ less vehicular traffic=less pollution. Biggest city in Maine is 66,000, Illinois has suburbs that dwarf that. In order to comply with Federal EPA standards Illinois had to designate some areas as ethanol blended fuel zones. Granted most of IL sells E-10 but I think that may just be a convenience factor for the producers.
