Summary
California legalized the sale of E15 gasoline (unleaded 88) last fall, a fuel blend containing 15% ethanol that supporters claim could lower gas prices by 20 cents per gallon or more. However, nearly a year later, no gas stations in California are selling it. The article explores the regulatory hurdles, infrastructure costs, and logistical challenges that have prevented E15 from reaching California consumers despite its legalization.
