Biofuel groups are laying out the numbers, showing the potential for big savings this summer with E15.
Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor says Americans stand to save more than $10 billion this summer. It follows an emergency waiver issued earlier this year, which allowed sales to continue throughout the summer.
In Iowa, the group estimates drivers could save up to $140 million on fuel costs this summer. In Illinois, those estimates jumped to more than $400 million in savings.
Despite the good numbers, Skor says it is time for Congress to pass permanent legislation, allowing unrestricted access to E15.
