The EPA said it will complete a proposal to expand sales of higher ethanol blends of gasoline in time for summer, despite delays from the partial government shutdown.
OPEI announces it is updating its Consumer Education Campaign to advise the public to use E10 or less when fueling lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers, chainsaws and boats. This new effort is in partnership with the National Marine Manufacturers Assn.
The Trump administration is reportedly planning to have the EPA waive existing seasonal restrictions on the sale of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, according to a report from the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute.
As E15 re-enters the marketplace following the summertime ban, consumers are again advised to 'Look Before You Pump,'" says Kris Kiser, OPEI President and CEO.
The free consumer and dealer education materials were updated in light of increased availability of higher ethanol fuel blends at gasoline filling stations.
Kris Kiser, president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, talks about what's happening now with the Renewable Fuel Standard and what dealers can do.
Poll results show that almost 64% of American adults age 18+ who own outdoor power equipment say they either are not sure (42%) or do not pay any attention (22%) to what type of fuel they are using.
