E15 Mid-September


the oil companies are not supplying Iowa with the gasoline blend stock that you have to blend with ethanol to create E15 during the summer months."

The gasoline blend stock for E10 is different than the blend stock that is required for E15, according to federal regulations. So oil companies are simply sending up the pipeline the blend stock for E10. "That blend stock is not suitable under federal law for blending with E15. It is in reality, but not under quirky federal regulations," says Shaw.

Mid-September is probably soonest E15 ethanol will be available in Iowa
