The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it would temporarily allow widespread sales of a higher ethanol gas blend in a move that they hope will tamp down consumer prices that have soared since the Iran war began.
The sale of E15 is typically discontinued in the summer because it can contribute to harmful air pollution.
Not all are convinced the move will substantially lower gas prices. 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, said Kenneth Gillingham, a professor at the Yale School of the Environment who studies the impacts of transportation regulations on prices, emissions and consumer welfare.



“FUCK YOUR ENGINE, LOL!”
-EPA I guess
Any car made after 2010 handles E15 just fine. It’s cheaper than E10 and has lower carbon emissions. I pretty much only fill up with E15 due to the lower prices.
Yeah fuck those poor people with older cars am I right?
E10 is still offered.
As per the article, this is extending winter fuel blends in states where E15 isn’t offered year-round.
