We are closer than we have ever been to E15 being allowed year-round. There is still some work to be done. However, a major milestone has been reached for the ethanol blend. A milestone which ethanol groups say signals the public?s desire to have the fuel all year long.

Iowa is the highest ethanol producing state in the U.S., and we have a lot invested in its success. So, when drivers reach 6 billion miles driven on E15, we should feel proud of it. Growth Energy?s Mike O?Brien says this milestone is proof consumers want the choice of E15.

O?Brien says E15 is a ray of hope for farmers during low commodity prices.

According to O?Brien, the milestone shows consumers are happy with E15, and it is becoming easier to find.
