EPA Extends E15 Summer Waiver Through August 8 Miguel E. Andujar DTN Refined Fuels Market Reporter DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has extended its temporary waiver allowing the sale of E15 gasoline with higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) through August 8, 2025. The waiver, initially set to expire July 20, was extended due to ongoing supply disruptions stemming from global conflicts, reduced U.S. refining capacity, and continued pressure on fuel inventories during the peak summer driving season. The extension allows retailers and fuel distributors in applicable regions to continue selling E15 -- gasoline blended with up to 15% ethanol -- despite volatility limits normally in place under summer fuel regulations. The EPA said the decision was made in coordination with the Department of Energy to avoid disruptions and additional strain on petroleum-based gasoline supplies. (c) Copyright 2025 DTN, LLC.
