Trump administration waives gasoline regulations to address surging fuel prices
HOUSTON — The Trump administration on Wednesday temporarily waived regulations on the types of gasoline that are sold during the summer in an effort to ease surging fuel prices during the Iran war.
The Environmental Protection Agency lifted restrictions on the sale of E15 gas, a fuel blended with 15% ethanol. The sale of E15 is restricted in about half the U.S. from June through September due to regulations designed to reduce air pollution.
The EPA said it also issued a waiver to remove all federal impediments to selling E10 gas, which is blended with 10% ethanol. E10 is widely available throughout the year.
The agency is suspending federal enforcement of certain state fuel requirements as well, allowing the production and distribution of gasoline with 9% to 15% ethanol content.
