Last Friday the Biden administration raised the mandatory amount of biofuel, specifically ethanol, that must be blended within the U.S. gasoline supply. The previous amount of 10% (summer blend) was raised to a year-round 15% (waiver) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is likely to lead to two sets of bigger issues, less food and higher gas prices.

Wonderful. My fuel prices just took a huge jump because I just dropped a new engine in my truck at the beginning of the year and there's no way in hell I'm going to fuck it up by burning E15 in it.
I've been wanting to find out what kind of mileage I'll get burning non-ethanol anyway. I guess I'll find out now.
