"The higher-ethanol blend has been prohibited in warm weather because of concerns it could worsen smog. President Trump is unleashing American Energy Dominance, and today's action will directly lower prices at the pump and gives a clear demand signal to our domestic biofuels producers."
"The summer waiver for E15 has become commonplace in recent years, and both Republicans and Democrats have called for it to become year-round and permanent to lower prices at the pump."
"E15 isn't available in all states and some places don't have the necessary infrastructure or enough of a supply of ethanol to ramp up use."
"The higher levels of corrosive ethanol in E15 can be a risk especially to older cars, boats and all-terrain vehicles."
The US Environmental Protection Agency is permitting the sale of a higher-ethanol gas blend, E15, to help lower soaring consumer prices linked to the Iran war. This blend has been restricted in warm weather due to smog concerns. The agriculture secretary stated that this action supports domestic biofuels producers. While some states already allow E15, there are concerns about its availability and infrastructure. Experts warn that E15 may not significantly reduce prices and could pose risks to older vehicles due to its corrosive nature.
