@fuelinggood Curious what data series RFA is using here. When I calculate the blend using Refinery and Blender Net Input of Fuel Ethanol and Product Supplied of Finished Motor Gasoline, I get a blend of 10.15% in Oct 2025.
@jantenbensel@ScottIrwinUI My point on the 10% specifically relates to the RFS. If E15 truly is a better, cheaper product why would it need to be mandated? For years, the conventional mandate has been above a 10% blend, and it has been met with BBDs rather than higher ethanol blending.

Good luck.
@ScottIrwinUI With the BTC expiring, wouldn't theory dictate that the RIN would need to appreciate by $1 divided by 1.6 (RINs/gal) less expected 45z credit value to keep producers whole? Any thoughts on why we haven't seen this?
