Falling gasoline prices are giving the EPA room to hike the mandate levels on ethanol related to their coming announcement on the Renewable Fuel Standard. With greater gasoline demand due to lower prices, the EPA could raise the requirements for ethanol use without exceeding the 10 percent blend wall.

American Petroleum Institute’s Bob Greco says he’s concerned the agency will go through the blend wall.

Greco is expecting a final decision on the volume obligations right at the end of this month.

He is concerned that the EPA might rule in favor of higher volume levels and that would force more ethanol than consumers want or can use in their vehicles.
