E15 fuel economy back center stage. Here are MPG results from California testing. Average loss was 1.3% but note some saw MPG gain! The fuel is averaging a national discount of 8% today. Your cost per mile goes down with E15 - there is no debate. Add ethanol - octane goes up, cost goes down.
During my time in Congress, I have been a steadfast advocate for the year-round sale of E15. I’ve spoken to the president on numerous occasions, including as recently as this morning, about its importance to places like South Dakota, so I appreciate hearing him reiterate his support for it today during his trip to the Midwest.
Implementation of year-round E15 would be a huge win for South Dakota producers and would boost the agriculture economy and rural communities across the nation. I remain committed to continue working with my colleagues in Congress to get a year-round E15 proposal across the finish line and to the president’s desk.
Midwest Farmers say E-15 is their #1 priority. We’ve lost much our corn exports & E-15 can fill that gap. The proposal only mandates making E-15 available but does not force consumers to purchase it. Let the market work. Right now regulations block this. https://t.co/Nmls8eeAp7
ICGA and @iowafuel today released an open letter thanking @POTUS for his constant support of nationwide, year-round #E15 and asking for his help to finally push E15 access through Congress
@realDonaldTrump
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump announces Congress is actively working on a deal to allow E15 ALL YEAR ROUND that works for farmers, consumers, & refiners.
"Congress is working on a deal, and when they send it to my desk — I will sign it without delay."
While the California State Senate was passing a bill allowing lower-cost E15 in the state this afternoon, RFA was in San Diego hosting a workshop to help the state's fuel retailers prepare for offering the fuel blend. Program details at https://t.co/AGpzDXbVNP
Because of artificial regulatory & policy barriers, we’re using the same amount of corn for #ethanol as we did 10 years ago…but corn production is 2+ billion bushels (15%) higher. It’s time to unleash American ethanol and #E15 to help rebalance corn supply/demand and avert an impending crisis in farm country. Read our statement on today’s WASDE here:

“Alarm bells are ringing across rural America following today’s USDA report, and they should be ringing in the halls of Congress,” said RFA's Geoff Cooper, noting that this year’s crop is forecast to be nearly 2 billion bushels larger than last year’s crop. “Our nation’s farmers are doing their job—they are sustainably and efficiently producing the largest corn crop in history. But antiquated policies and regulations—like the summertime prohibition on E15, outdated pump labeling obligations, and needless equipment certification requirements—are stifling demand and failing America’s farmers.”

Unleashing American energy production means lower prices at the pump for our families.
Now, let’s pass the bill that I’ve helped lead to make #E15 permanently available year-round at gas stations in all 50 states.
This legislative fix costs nothing but would save drivers money!
Let's talk about #ethanol and #food prices. Two things to consider: First, there's no connection between ethanol and food price inflation. Second, there is a strong correlation between #oil and food prices.
