The EPA has allowed the sale of gasoline containing a higher blend of ethanol for the third summer in a row. The agency cites global conflicts as the reason for the decision. It is the third time in three years that the EPA has approved summer sales for higher ethanol blends.
The EPA says global conflicts are putting pressure on the world's fuel supply. The agency announced an emergency waiver that will exempt gasoline blended with 15% ethanol from an existing summertime ban. Gasoline with 10% ethanol is already sold nationwide. The higher blend has been prohibited in the summer because of concerns it could worsen smog.
