In a letter sent to U-S Senate and House leadership, a broad coalition of energy and agriculture organizations called on Congress to quickly adopt legislation that would resolve inconsistent fuel volatility regulations.  Specifically, the groups expressed support for legislation that would result in equal regulatory treatment for all gasoline blends containing 10 percent ethanol (E-10) or more, including gasoline with 15 percent ethanol (E-15).  Such legislation would permanently remove the regulatory barrier that has historically made it extremely difficult for retailers to offer E-15 in the summertime.  U-S Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa says the organizations wish to have E-15 offered all year long.  Grassley says he isn’t certain if there is yet broad support within Congress to allow E-15 for all year around usage.
