President Trump urged to support year-round sale of E15

NATSO and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) issued the following statement on the joint industry letter asking President Trump to support the year-round sale of gasoline containing 15% ethanol (E15).
The letter was signed by NATSO, SIGMA, NACS, the American Petroleum Institute, Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association.
“Today’s letter expresses unified support for consumers’ ability to access higher ethanol blends all year in all parts of the country.
“This will help contribute to lower fuel prices in many markets throughout the United States. Market volatility and affordability concerns are best mitigated through consumer-oriented fuel policies that are designed to lower prices at the pump. Being able to sell E15 year-round would be an important step in that direction.
“There are a number of other areas — particularly in the tax code — where policy also should be formulated with a keener eye toward imposing downward pressure on retail fuel prices.
“We are grateful for the Trump Administration’s ongoing support and look forward to working with the Administration to further fuel and energy policies that prioritize the American consumer.”
