Pillen signs the Adopt the E15 Access Standard Act
Summary
“The framework created through LB562 offers a pathway to increase access to higher blends while minimizing costs to fuel retailers and maximizing savings for consumers.” “This is a great day for Nebraska’s drivers,” said Jan tenBensel, chairman of the NEB. “This new law will help Nebraska families save money on a fuel choice that is also good for their state’s economy and environment,” said Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the RFA. We look forward to working with retailers so they reach new drivers by providing a smart fuel option that has proven popular.” RFA Vice President for Industry Relations Robert White attended the bill signing. “When marketers ‘do the math’ and understand they can gain a competitive advantage by offering a new, lower-priced ‘regular’ gasoline that almost every car can use, and still improve their own profitability, they’ll make the change. “We hope other states follow Nebraska’s example and use this legislation as a template to encourage more retailers to offer cleaner, more affordable, higher ethanol blends,” Lamberty continued.
