(NewsUSA) - With U.S. gasoline prices still hovering around $4.00 per gallon, according to AAA, consumers are looking for lower-cost fuel options like E15, made with 15 percent American ethanol. According to data from Growth Energy, the nation’s largest trade association for biofuel producers, the higher-ethanol blend saves motorists 30 cents per gallon on average compared to standard E10 fuel, with savings in some markets exceeding $1 per gallon. E15 can now be found at more than 5,100 gas stations in 35 states.
“E15 can deliver better performance and bigger savings every time consumers fill up their tanks,” said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. “It’s approved for more than 96% of cars on the road — all passenger cars and light-duty trucks model year 2001 or later — so making the switch has never been easier. And with fuel prices at a four-year high, E15 can save drivers money and shield them from global market volatility.”
