Year-Round E15 = E85 Disappearance?

[IK6SPEED]

There may be more E15 and less E85 in your driving future.

“E15 has a great upwards trajectory,” said John Eichberger, executive director for the Fuels Institute, a research organization founded in 2013 by the National Association of Convenience Stores.

Eichberger spoke about fuel trends during the Jan. 29 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit. Until now, many convenience stores haven’t sold E15 unless it was in blender pumps, which were capable of pumping E85. But if the EPA comes out with a rule allowing year-round E15 sales, as is expected this spring, that will likely change.

Many more gas stations will start carrying E15, but fewer are likely to continue carrying E85, he said.

A connected trend, Eichberger said, is that the auto industry is already reducing or ending its production of flex-fuel vehicles, also contributing to the possible demise of E85.
