OPINION: E15: The time is now for a proven fuel
Summary
RFA also worked with EPA on various hose configurations to minimize any chance of confusion at the pump or, ultimately, any misfueling. Jere White, my father, was the Executive Director of Kansas Corn at that time and was the first person in the country to fill his car—a yellow 2010 Chevy Camaro—with E15. Despite all the warnings from anti-ethanol groups and even attack letters from the American Automobile Association (AAA), E15 rolled out without any issue. As always RFA stands ready to help retailers make the transition to E15, with a number of resources available and staff on hand to answer any questions. Soon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to roll out another round of $100 million in matching funds via its Higher Blend Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP), so if you haven’t made the switch yet, reach out and see how we can help you save money and upgrade your facilities.
