Trump administration orders gas to be diluted - what it means for drivers [View all]
On March 25, the Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency fuel waiver for E15. That means gas stations are allowed to sell E15 nationwide during the summer starting May 1.
E15 is gasoline blended with 15% ethanol. Ethanol is usually made from corn, which is why this fuel is closely tied to U.S. farming and ethanol production.
What changed with E10 fuel
The EPA waiver did not only affect E15. It also removed federal barriers tied to E10 distribution.

Why E15 is usually restricted in summer
In simple terms, fuel evaporates more easily when temperatures rise. That could contribute to smog, which is why summer fuel rules are usually stricter in many parts of the country.
