Trump Administration Approves E-15 for E-10 Fuel Pumps

President Trump recently announced that he would approve an order to allow for the use of 15% ethanol blends in 10% blend pumps and filling stations. The announcement was well received by the ethanol and corn industry that has struggled recently and has sought several policy changes to increase demand for ethanol in motor vehicle fuel. This announcement is expected to provide much needed demand and save hundreds of millions of dollars on pump conversion costs that would be required if new storage were to be required for this increase in blended ethanol. Many states maintain their own tank storage requirements, which may still negate the announced decision from president Trump.
