No. It will be under before it will ever be over.So E15 might be E20...assuming.

That's where I get mine, QT in Lewisville. Only a couple of the QTs in the entire area have E15.Some QuikTrip gas stations in and around Dallas/Ft. Worth have E15 available (for about 4 years now IIRC). It is clearly separated with its own blue dispenser and is always 88 octane. I haven't paid much attention to the price advantage the E15 offers because I have no interest in using it. I need 93, so 88 is useless to me, regardless of ethanol content.
Sure, I trust the government to do everything right.I doubt it. The weights and measures people would have caught these discrepancies.
It has to do with revenue so you can bet they are doing it right.Sure, I trust the government to do everything right.
Do farmers really have a hard time selling their profuct? I don't see a lot of people going into farming these days and we still all need to eat. I am genuinely curious.E15 is definitely coming, farmers gotta get paid. It will be offered alongside E10 and other blends. Way too many vehicles (millions) on the road today with the manufacturer not approving anything over 10% ethanol.
EPA is approving fuels for vehicles that the vehicle manufacturer has NOT approved. That's insane if you ask me. Here's a quote from a 2017 article in Ethanol Producer Magazine... not sure how this has been going on for so long and no massive lawsuits:
"In 2012, EPA approved the use of E15 in vehicles built in model year 2001 or later. However, auto manufacturers did not retroactively endorse the use of E15 in legacy vehicles that were already on the road."

They'll still collect what each grade calls for so maybe they could care less about exact ethanol content as long as they get theirs.It has to do with revenue so you can bet they are doing it right.
I don't know about the American farmer's ability to sell their products, I just know that the agricultural industry is heavily subsidized, especially for corn/grain used in ethanol production. I said "farmers gotta get paid" because some farmers are paid to produce nothing. Also, many farmers are really fuel producers, not food producers. Ethanol is a big scam in the name of green energy and "energy independence" -- the system is unsustainable, hence the subsidies.Do farmers really have a hard time selling their product?
