Iowa Corn Farmers and Ethanol Supporters Urge the Department of Energy to Push for Year-Round E15.
As U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright prepares for today's White House meeting to discuss high gas prices, Iowa's corn growers and renewable fuel leaders are offering a "no-brainer" solution for immediate relief: nationwide, year-round access to E15.
The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) and Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) released the following statement to Secretary Wright and the Department of Energy:
"As the conflict with Iran has sent oil prices skyrocketing, year-round access to E15 offers immediate relief. On average, E15 saves drivers $0.25 per gallon at the pump compared to standard E10. During peak travel seasons, those savings have even reached $1.00 per gallon in certain regions. Nationwide adoption would reduce consumer spending on motor fuel by $20.6 billion annually, putting an average of $168 back into the pockets of every American household each year.
"We urge the White House to make nationwide E15 step one on their plan to combat high fuel prices. As a homegrown fuel solution, E15 will benefit consumers, provide stronger markets for farmers and cost the U.S. government nothing."
