US House Passes Bill Allowing Year-Round Sales of E15 Gasoline
The measure would expand ethanol demand and could save drivers 20 to 40 cents a gallon, supporters said.
- The US House passed the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act to allow year-round sales of E15 gasoline, a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline, with a vote of 218-203 including bipartisan support and opposition.
- Supporters argue the bill will increase corn demand by over 2 million bushels annually, support domestic biofuel production, enhance fuel options, and lower pump prices for consumers.
- Opponents warn the bill expands costly federal Renewable Fuel Standard mandates, could harm small refiners, increase compliance costs by about 30 cents per gallon, and add billions to the federal deficit over ten years.
- The bill's approval in the Senate is uncertain due to GOP divisions and awaits further debate on energy policy, budget impacts, and environmental consequences before potential final approval by the President.
