President Joe Biden will allow E15 ethanol-blended gas to be sold throughout the US this summer, the White House said Tuesday, as part of measures to tackle soaring fuel prices in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
E15 gasoline, which is gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, is banned in most of the US during the summer because of air pollution concerns. But the White House said that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to issue a national emergency waiver which would allow E15 to be sold between June 1 and September 15.

Why would anyone want to use this?
Watering down the whisky.
Doesn’t matter Joe, I’m still voting Republican this fall.
“An emergency waiver can help increase fuel supplies...”
In a world that is careening into famine, this idiot goes to Iowa to win a few political points by burning food for fuel and gets crapped on by a bird.
Ethanol kills engines. Corn should be used for food, not put in gas tanks.
E15 - this will allow the food shortage to get worse, and at the same time keep gasoline prices high. Bonus is ruining some engines, specifically small engines unless folks are careful and find ethanol free gasoline.
if you are going to take a pass on global warming then frack baby frack.
Oh But, but, but. A President Can’t lower gas prices…. Or so we have been told countless times. Yet Piss-acki mentioned supply and demand like a Jr. College Economics Professor. And not 1 follow up question from the press corps.
Exactly.
Yes, this seems like the worst possible solution.
Advisors: “We are going to have either an energy crisis or a food crisis”
Biden: “Why can’t we have both?”
I E15 is bad in the Summer, why is E10 also not banned?
If E15 is bad in the Summer, why is E10 also not banned?
Here’s the ad for it;
“Try E15 fuel because engines last too long without it.”
Bingo, they will get us to switch to EVs by ruining our ICEs.
Guess how at least one large petrochem company makes their ethanol? ... they make it from oil.
Blah-blah-blah...Joe Brandon...blah-blah-blah.
Because it will stress food production even more and help spur famine?
“Much of the ethanol produced in the world is actually a petroleum product. It is easily made by the hydrolysis of ethylene, a major petrochemical. Two million tons of petroleum-derived ethanol is produced annually.”
