Rep. Smith and Bipartisan Group Push Bill to Allow Year-Round E15 Gasoline Sales Nationwide
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes or hearings scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has a very large and diverse group of supporters from both parties, particularly from states with large farming industries. While similar efforts have struggled before, the current focus on gas prices gives it a better chance.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Drivers who own their homes (and cars) could see slightly lower prices at the pump since E15 typically costs 5 to 10 cents less per gallon than standard E10 gasoline. With year-round availability, the savings would extend through summer months when E15 was previously restricted. The actual impact depends on how widely gas stations choose to adopt E15.
