The United States House passed a bill on Wednesday afternoon allowing year-round E15 gasoline sales by a 218 to 203 vote. The H.R. 1346 legislation removes seasonal smog-related restrictions that previously banned the 15% ethanol blend during summer months. Biofuel and agriculture investors gain a permanent demand floor, while refiners face $2.3 billion in projected 10-year deficit costs.
