Trump administration to ask Congress to permanently allow year-round E15 gasoline sales
The Trump administration plans to press Congress to permanently authorize year-round sales of E15 gasoline, a 15% ethanol blend, removing current summer restrictions. The move is intended to help lower fuel costs amid recent pressure on gasoline prices. While easing tensions with Iran has pushed oil prices down, making the change permanent would reduce support for the summer gasoline premium and give refiners more blending flexibility, adding downside pressure to spot gasoline and near-dated futures prices.
