House passes bill to allow year-round sales of E15 ethanol fuel blend
The House voted 218-203 to pass the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, enabling year-round sale of E15 gasoline (blended with 15% ethanol) nationwide. The bill passed with support from 122 Republicans and 95 Democrats, though it split GOP leadership. The measure aims to boost farmers and potentially reduce gas prices by allowing a fuel blend currently restricted to winter months.
