Trump Expected to Loosen Rules on Ethanol in Gasoline

President Trump wants to increase the ethanol mix in summer gasoline, a move that could potentially increase smog and almost certainly provide a boost for corn farmers. The president is expected to announce his plan at a rally in Iowa tonight, according to NBC News. U.S. ethanol, primarily derived from corn, is an octane-boosting additive that oil refiners must mix up to 10 percent in each gallon in order to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard.
