The Biden administration on April 29 issued an emergency waiver allowing E15 gasoline, which has a 15 percent ethanol content, to be sold across the United States during the summer in a bid to alleviate higher gas prices.

“The president is committed to doing everything he can to address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters about the emergency waiver, saying it’s a “critical step to address the fuel supply crisis.”
