The California Senate has unanimously passed a bill to allow the sale of a cheaper gasoline blend, potentially lowering prices in the state where fuel costs are the highest in the nation.
The measure, AB 30, cleared the chamber in a unanimous 39–0 vote on Sept 3. It now goes to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, where, if signed, it will allow California to join the other 49 states in permitting E15, a blend of around 85 percent gasoline and 15 percent ethanol.
