Ethanol made from corn in the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Ending federal restrictions on year-round sales of E-15 gasoline would help our corn farmers and bring down gas prices. It's a win-win. The last three presidents supported this. Congress, what’s the holdup? wpsdlocal6.com/news/rand-pau…

Not sure where you are headed… Here is the fuel economy testing from CARB’s required effort to approve the fuel. ~1% average loss in MPG is more than offset by the ~17% savings. In fact, some vehicles saw an improvement.

Gas prices remain stubbornly high and oil refiner profits are at record levels. The answer is to blend MORE ethanol, not less. Ethanol with a RIN is selling for $2/gal. today, and E15 prices remain 20-40 cents per gallon less than E10. Want lower gas prices? Don’t Mess with the RFS, & get Year-Round E15 legislation done!

Thankful to have E85. Especially now. American-grown. American-processed. Locally-sourced. Renewable.

Small refiners said SREs would lower fuel prices and stimulate capacity expansion. In reality, the opposite has happened. Gas prices up 36 cpg, diesel up 80 cpg & no new refinery capacity. Want lower fuel prices? More E15 and strong RFS are the answer!

Want cheaper gasoline? President Trump has called for year-round E15. The House already passed it with bipartisan support. Now the Senate needs to finish the job. E15 typically saves drivers 10–40¢ a gallon (sometimes more), works in 97% of vehicles on the road today, and creates a stronger market for American-grown corn. Every week of delay is another week families pay more at the pump and farmers miss a homegrown fuel market. Senators: send year-round E15 to the President’s desk. He said he’ll sign it without delay. bit.ly/4h89wOj

Remember when oil refiners said “small refinery exemptions” would lower #gasprices? Less than 2 weeks after EPA granted 29 SREs, that fib hasn’t aged so well! Want lower gas prices? Blend more ethanol!

If Admin really wants to expand refinery capacity, it should stop incentivizing refiners to CURTAIL production by giving them #SREs. These 4 refineries all admit they have capacity above 75k bpd, but they throttled back production to get under the SRE threshold. The result? 450 MILLION gallons of gas & diesel that didn’t get produced. That additional supply would come in handy right about now! #ethanol

There’s been a lot of chatter about recent FAPRI study suggesting year-round E15/SRE reform bill would be bad for soybeans & BBD. Just throwing this out there: FAPRI used 2026-27 BBD RVO assumptions that are 1.6 BG lower than reality in 2026 & 1.3 BG lower in 2027. They also missed extra 700 MG added to conventional RVO for both 2026-27. How can anyone take the analysis seriously given such whiffs on the RVOs? How much would their results change if they used the right numbers?!

As we’ve said all along, year-round access to lower-cost #E15 is a bipartisan, nationwide issue! Last week’s vote on HR 1346 proves it. From California to the New York island, from the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters, 122 Republicans, 95 Democrats, and 1 Independent united to vote for lower prices at the pump, cleaner air, a stronger farm economy, and greater energy independence. We thank them for working together to advance this crucial legislation. Now, on to the Senate, where we hope to see the same bipartisanship, cooperation, and urgency!

The national average discount for E15 is now 9% under E10. Approved for 2001 & newer vehicles and all Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFVs). The most tested fuel in history is safe and proven. It requries this label when available. Lower your cost per mile - try it today. #ethanol

More E15 confusion… it is not just a midgrade fuel - it is now sold as 6 different octane levels. Hearing of 88 octane? It barely makes up half of all sales now. Why? E15 is finally taking its place in prime time and replacing regular gasoline at 87 octane. #ethanol

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.
