The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a temporary nationwide waiver allowing the sale of E15 fuel, a gasoline blend containing 15% ethanol, in an effort to ease rising fuel prices at the pump.
The move lifts the usual seasonal restrictions that limit E15 availability and is set to run from 1 May to 20 May, with officials indicating the period could be extended if supply pressures continue. The decision comes amid continued volatility in global energy markets and aims to increase fuel supply for American drivers.
