Summary · why it matters

The Trump administration formally asked Congress on Wednesday to pass legislation allowing year-round sales of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, marking the first formal push by the White House to enact the policy. The request came in a supplemental bill released by the Office of Management and Budget, which called the measure an urgent and needed fix that codifies the permanent, year-round sale of E15. Supporters argue the higher-ethanol blend offers motorists a cheaper alternative to conventional gasoline, while U.S. refiners warn it could raise costs and complicate fuel distribution. Legislation allowing year-round E15 sales narrowly passed the House last month but faces long odds in the Senate, where major bills typically need 60 votes. The national average for regular gasoline stood at $3.93 per gallon as of Wednesday morning.
