(NAFB.com) – Almost 1,000 farmers, ethanol industry workers, and other supporters from across the U.S. sent a letter to the administration today calling for action on summertime E15. They’re asking for a waiver to allow continued access to E15 throughout the upcoming summer driving season. “With the summer 2024 driving season a few months away, we are asking the administration to take additional action that will ensure consumers across the nation have uninterrupted access to lower-cost, lower-carbon E15,” the letter says. “Allowing gasoline blenders and retailers to sell E15 this summer would help moderate prices at the pump, extend fuel supplies, and deliver relief to American families at a time of year when gas prices are typically at their highest.” The letter also points out that E15 is selling for 10-25 cents per gallon less than standard E10 gasoline, allowing the average American household to save up to $200 a year on gasoline.
