>>Advocates applaud EPA ruling on E-15 fuel sales during summer months — Ethanol advocates are cheering news that the E-P-A will allow the sale of E-15 fuel during this summer’s driving season. Brian Werner of the Minnesota Biofuels Association says he was hoping regulators would issue an emergency waiver. He says, “This is really welcomed news for Minnesota’s biofuel industry and also just a victory for our state’s economy and environment. Unleaded 88 reduces air emissions, it lowers prices at the pump and it sustains rural jobs and agricultural markets.” Werner says a 1990 federal rule prohibits sales of 15 percent ethanol fuel from June through mid-September. Minnesota and seven other Midwest states will be able to sell E-15 year-round permanently next year.
