  • A coalition of 16 Republican AGs wrote a letter to Congressional leaders supporting the passage of the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, which would allow all states access to E15—a gasoline blend with 15 percent ethanol—year-round.
  • In their letter, the AGs argue that the Choice Act, which would amend the Clean Air Act’s exemption allowing only E10 to be sold year-round, would provide regulatory certainty, enable strategic growth, eliminate the need for temporary emergency measures or further EPA rulemaking, and offer a cheaper fuel option for consumers.
  • An EPA rule taking effect in April 2025 will permit E15 to be sold year-round in eight states, while other states remain banned from selling E15 during the summer due to concerns over smog.
  • The AGs contend that expanding year-round access to E15 aligns with a Trump administration Executive Order declaring a national energy emergency and calling for measures to support U.S. energy independence.
