Year-Round E15 Fuel Sales

April 2 – April 3, 2026

Where Things Stand

Congress is currently debating a permanent fix to allow gas stations to sell 15 percent ethanol fuel blends during the summer months. This change would end seasonal air quality bans meant to reduce smog and is being discussed as a potential addition to upcoming government funding bills. Supporters are pushing for this nationwide mandate to help lower fuel costs and provide a steady market for corn farmers facing trade pressures.

Key Statements

SSen. Joni Ernst

I’ll keep working in Congress to get a bill to President Trump’s desk so folks can see real savings through homegrown energy!

This post confirms the current legislative push to send a permanent E15 bill to the President.

GGov. JB Pritzker

I’m urging Congress to make the sale of E15 permanent to provide the certainty our farmers need and broaden markets for corn.

This highlights the bipartisan nature of the request for permanent legislative action rather than temporary waivers.
