Service station operators across the country are expressing frustration with Congress over delays in passing legislation for year-round E15 ethanol fuel sales. Industry leaders say retailers and truck stop owners are tired of waiting for federal lawmakers to establish nationwide standards.
Service station operators nationwide are expressing mounting frustration as Congress continues to delay action on legislation that would allow year-round sales of E15 ethanol-blended gasoline.
According to Geoff Cooper, who leads the Renewable Fuels Association as CEO, gas station owners and truck stop operators have grown weary of waiting for federal lawmakers to establish consistent, nationwide regulations for the higher ethanol blend.
“We’ve certainly heard that remark from the retailers and truck stop folks before, and I think there is” genuine exhaustion with the legislative process, Cooper noted.
The push for year-round E15 availability has been stalled in Congress despite ongoing advocacy from fuel retailers who want clearer federal guidelines for offering the ethanol blend to customers throughout all seasons.
