Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Independent gas station owners and small fuel retailers face both opportunity and cost. Year-round E15 sales open a new product line that can attract price-conscious customers, since E15 is typically cheaper than regular gas. However, stations may need to invest in upgraded storage tanks and dispensers to meet new EPA compatibility requirements, which could be a financial burden for smaller operators.

the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall modify the E15 fuel dispenser labeling requirements and the underground storage tank regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency with respect to compatibility with gasoline-ethanol blends.
