To be clear.
First, so that there is no sticker shock, as of the time of this writing the following commodities are trading at the current prices:
Corn 791.0000 USd/BU up 4.39% for the week
Crude Oil 106.540 USD/Bbl up 8.58% for the week
Gasoline 3.3731 USD/Gal up 10.96% for the week
Ethanol 2.5950 USD/Gal up 5.92% for the week
Second, ethanol contains about one-third less energy than gasoline. So, vehicles will typically go 3% to 4% fewer miles per gallon on E10, and 4% to 5% fewer on E15 than on 100% gasoline. Prepare to use more, for the same miles. And, at least right now, for more money. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg//ethanol.shtml
Per the US EPA and USDOE, any car from model year 2001 or newer can safely run E15. Cars before model year 2001, as well as motorcycles, boats, ATVs and lawn mowers should not run E15, since those engines are fundamentally different and damage may result. https://www.fuelfreedom.org/faq/#toggle-id-15

This is unbelievable. Only in America can you burn food as fuel. Not only is the economics of this plan been resoundingly proven wrong and wrong again but it shows just how vapid the American political system is. Simply stated, "Lower the cost of fuel 10¢ and add 24¢ more in lower mileage." Plus the E15 blend can only be pumped by 2500 gas stations and into cars that are equipped to use it. This fuel will destroy both the environment and vehicles. Many unsuspecting motorists hanging by the thread of living day-to-day will have their only means of transportation destroyed... It's just not right.

It’s just about any proposed solution that they can use until November to trick voters in the election.

All the more realistic and why we need to drill and drill

But it is currently offered at just 2,300 gas stations in the country, according to officials.
Americans have a better chance of running into Biden at the local ice cream stand than finding one of these gas stations.
