The DOE report shows that E15 gasoline is priced up to $0.47 per gallon less than E10 and costs 8 percent less per energy basis, resulting in savings for drivers. The data supports that the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and Renewable Identification Number (RIN) mechanisms have driven expanded ethanol consumption and lower pump prices.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to factor in that the RFS is boosting access to cheaper fuel options like E15, opening cost-saving opportunities in consumer fuel markets. Moves to weaken the RFS through refinery exemptions signal a risk of reversing these savings, so prepare for potential price volatility.
