Biden Says Higher-Ethanol Gas Could Lower Prices

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to issue an emergency waiver allowing the sale of E15 gasoline, which contains more ethanol, across the United States this summer. This move aims to increase fuel supply and reduce costs, as E15 is about $0.10 cheaper per gallon than E10. The waiver will prevent gas stations in states like Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania from having to stop selling E15 during the summer, ensuring continued availability of cheaper fuel.
