E-15 Gas Mandate Reform

February 8, 2015

The House of Representatives examined a bill earlier this week that would modify the Renewable Fuel Standard, which calls for gas which is 15% ethanol. If you’ve been actively boating in recent years, you have probably experienced the negative impact of the introduction of E-10 gas. Currently, no marine engine manufacturers warranty their products to run on any fuels with more than 10% ethanol. The reform has the support of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and BoatUS.
