Amid rising prices at the pump and volatile global energy markets, an overwhelming majority of registered voters support the expansion of the lower-cost E15 fuel blend and legislation that would make it permanently available nationwide. That’s according to a new poll from Morning Consult, conducted for the Renewable Fuels Association.
RFA said the polling results underscore the urgency of securing federal legislation to finally allow sales of E15 year-round.
“These results send a clear and unequivocal message to policymakers: American voters want expanded access to lower-cost E15, and they want it now,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “By a margin of eight-to-one, voters support efforts to broaden the availability of the more-affordable, cleaner-burning fuel.”
RFA also said hardworking families across the country clearly understand E15 can help them save money while improving U.S. energy security during a time of great uncertainty.
