Will it really lower fuel prices or just eat at the margins and make them rise less than they usually would? Anyone look at gas prices from 2018 to see what happened when Trump did this? Looks like less than 10% of US cars can use e85 anyway. Only twenty one million or so vs like 280 million vehicles. This is political theater, not meaningful policy. Plus it’s hypocrisy for the “planet is dying in two years unless we end civilization” political agenda.
E85 should be e15 in the post
E15 can be used in 90% of the cars on the road today that’s the number newer than 2001. At this point any increase in supply should lower prices since the market is supply limited. Both my turbo sports sedans like E15 it’s higher octane and latent heat capacity means they run at a higher boost level before knock sets in my turbo controller shows 2 more psi with E15 vs E10 that’s worth 35 to 40 HP.
