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.
This country will do anything except harvest the power from that big yellow ball in the sky.
Hmmm? This is the way you get a gas car to run on sunshine.
Sun > corn > ethanol
Technically everything runs on sunlight:
Sun>Algae>decomposition>Oil Sun>Tree>Fossilization>Coal Sun>Wind>Turbine>Electricity Sun>Panel>Electricity Sun>Corn>Fermentation>Etanol
The Trump administration is going to wreck my engine, isn’t it.
E15 is perfectly safe for any car made after 2010. There is a reason it is widely offered in many states.
E15 is also significantly cheaper, like $0.30/gal cheaper. I pretty much only fill up at stations that have it.
Total BS my 2018 car’s manual says it can only run on E10.
Which car is this?
Subaru Outback with the 3.6
Huh, TIL.
Thank you.
Well yeah, new car sales are way down so this is really a two birds, one stone situation for them
Just replaced a fuel hose that was 5 years old but had rotted though. It’s because of ethanol.
