GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Eight midwestern governors recently made a request to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to allow the sale of 15 percent ethanol gasoline year-round. The governors included J.B. Pritzker, Illinois; Kim Reynolds, Iowa; Jim Pillen, Nebraska; Tim Walz, Minnesota; Mike Parson, Missouri; Mike DeWine, Ohio; Kristi Noem, South Dakota; and Tony Evers, Wisconsin.
The agency granted the request of the eight governors and the sale of E15 gasoline will begin April 28, 2025. Reuters reported that the corn-based ethanol industry became frustrated at the later starting date.
