It looks like USA gasoline is going to jump to fifteen percent minimum.Forever

And that is when I will start using 0%. Just have to look a little bit to find a pump. The cost difference is negligible.

I think that will be in separate pumps of which there are only a couple thousand in the US vs 150000 gas stations. Mainly in the corn states. It will not replace the 5% stuff. Gas for morons in other words.Just how much good does the WH think a 10 cent price cut do for $5.00 gas?? Just goes to show how far away from real people those politicians are.

Just goes to show how far away from real people those politicians are.Actually in most of the US the standard is now 10%, so most pumps already have it. They just need to slap a new sticker on the 10% pumps and fill the tank with 15% fuel.The question is does it make sense for the fuel companies. They went to the 10% to meet govt rules, not because it was cost effective. If the govt doesn't somehow force them to sell the 15% stuff, it's unlikely to happen.As a consumer, the 10cents per gallon savings is eaten up to a good degree by lower MPG.

Currently I think MI is 10% or 80% (Labeled pumps only on E-80)15% is harmful per Mercury Motors. and they ran the test.

It is not really a 10 cent price cut as your mileage will drop. It appears those energy advisors are poorly informed. Every and I mean every decision they have made is detrimental to the public. Life is tough enough without their policies.They had better get informed or they are in line for a career change.

Come to think of it, the biggest market for ethanol free gas at Wawa seems to be landscape and lawn maintenance contractors & boaters. IIRC, the alcohol free at Wawa is 89 octane, and before Wawa's entry into Florida alcohol free was around but hard to find in the Orlando area.

All gas is not going to 15% as a minimum. A few ethanol producing states are going to blend and sell 15% gas outside of the normal June to September cutoff.
Nothing is going to change with 10% gas availability.

Gary is right.

Only about 2% of stations are set for 15% and most of those are in the mid west. The rest of the US will likely remain as is.

This "emergency" action is lipstick on a pig.

That only because those that seek it out are willing to pay much more. Does not reflect cost or the price if all the booze was taken out.

Besides, production of ethanol uses more oil than not producing ethanol.

There you go trying to mix politics and common sense. You should know better than that......

You know that the Sunoco at South Huron and I-275 has a 0-Eoh pump, right?
