E15 Ethanol Blend Seeks to Gain Traction in US

摘要

Only a tiny fraction of US service stations have started offering gasoline containing 15% ethanol (E15) since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the use of E15 in most vehicles more than three years ago. The pro-ethanol Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) says that only 85 stations are currently equipped to sell E15, but adds that this number is poised to climb "by several hundred" over the next few months and expand beyond the corn-producing US Midwest.
