Iowa Drivers Favor E15 Over E10 by 2026 Projections
Iowa's fuel terminals distributed over 46 million gallons of E15 in August, marking the second-highest amount on record. According to monthly fuel tax data released by the Iowa Department of Revenue, this growth indicates a strong demand for ethanol blends among state drivers.
E15 sales are expected to surpass E10 as the top-selling fuel in Iowa by 2026, according to projections from the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA). IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw believes that E15 will become the No. 1 selling fuel for the year, citing a record-breaking 48 million gallons sold in May.
E15 typically offers consumers savings of 15 cents or more per gallon compared to E10, while supporting demand for Iowa-grown corn and strengthening America's domestic fuel supply.
