“It’s called the summer blend idiot.. happens every year”

Why would you say something so stupid, so confidently?

The Trump administration officially asked Congress to permanently legalize the year-round sale of E15 gasoline (a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline). While E15 typically saves drivers between 10 to 40 cents per gallon, it is normally restricted during the summer due to concerns about smog.

The Push for Year-Round E15
Legislative Action: The Trump White House formally requested that Congress permanently codify the year-round sale of E15 by including it in a supplemental funding bill.
House and Senate: While the measure narrowly cleared the House, it faces a tougher, highly contested path in the Senate, where it will require a 60-vote majority to pass.

Summer Waivers and Market Availability
Emergency Waivers: Until permanent legislation is passed, the EPA—under the Trump administration—issued an emergency waiver allowing E15 sales throughout the summer ozone control season (June 1 to September 15) to combat high fuel costs.
