E15 study shows billions in annual savings

The senior vice president of Regulatory Affairs with Growth Energy says nationwide access to E15 could help drivers save $20 billion in annual fuel costs.

Chris Bliley tells Brownfield a new study from ABF Economics shows E15 can help the US economy, “It puts an additional $36 billion in income into the pockets of American households,” Bliley said. “As well as support an additional 188,000 jobs.”

He says a similar study was conducted last year, but “We updated it with a larger savings per gallon number from what we were seeing in the data across the country,” Bliley said.

Earlier this year, President Biden issued an emergency waiver allowing year-round E15 sales.
