Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids announced Wednesday she took steps to work towards the year-round sale of E15 fuel in Kansas, which is blended with higher amounts of ethanol, amid cuts in foreign oil production.
Davids requested an emergency waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency to allow the sale of E15 fuel during summer 2023 in Kansas, following news that Saudi Arabia and other foreign oil producers will cut the production of over one million barrels of oil per day. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly made a similar request to the EPA last month, saying market conditions justify emergency action.
In summer 2022, the EPA allowed for the sale of E15 fuel, which is blended with 10.5-15% ethanol.

This is a mistake. When we look at decreased gas mileage as well as the energy and environment required to produce and use ethanol, well it's just not cost effective or environmentally sound.

..."We must ensure Kansans’ bank accounts are shielded from price hikes at the gas pump, especially as our country deals with threats to our foreign oil supply,” Davids said. “Guaranteeing E15, a cheaper alternative for fuel, is available year-round not only lowers these prices, but also creates opportunities for Kansas farmers and diversifies our energy market. In Congress, I’m focused on long-term solutions — but folks at home need immediate relief now.”
