The Trump administration will propose lifting a ban on the summertime sale of E15 gasoline ahead of President Donald Trump’s Oct. 9 visit to Iowa, according to a senior White House official.
Up to 97 percent of the gasoline sold in the United States is E10, a mix of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent petroleum. The Environmental Protection Agency, after extensive tests, approved the sale of E15 gasoline, which contains up to 15 percent ethanol, by issuing a pair of waivers in 2010 and 2011.
