Gas to be diluted from May. Here's who is impacted [View all]
Donald Trumps Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced last month that it will allow U.S. refiners and retailers to supply two gasoline blends with more ethanol than usually allowed in the summer season E15 and E10.
While E10, a gasoline blend mixed with 10 percent ethanol, is widely available across the country, the waiver for E15, a blend of gasoline mixed with 15 percent ethanol, will only impact a limited number of people. Newsweek has broken down where this may be.
Why It Matters
The EPAs decision to temporarily allow wider summer sales of E15 gasoline is being framed as a nationwide effort to ease fuel costsbut its real-world impact is likely to be more limited and uneven.
It comes as ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has disrupted transit through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, has caused crude oil prices to jump over $100 per barrel since the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on February 28.

Won't matter for much as far as the price goes.
