Numbers to Know: How E15 Lowers Gas Prices and Boosts Farmers' Bottom Lines

WASHINGTON - Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a lifelong family farmer and member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, is pushing to get year-round, nationwide E15 signed into law to lower gas prices for consumers nationwide and boost the farm economy. Grassley has been a champion for E15 for over fifteen years.

"E15 benefits Americans from sea to shining sea. Passing year-round, nationwide E15 into law would lower gas prices, create jobs, strengthen national security and support rural America. It's good, good, good, and the numbers back that up. That's why I'm pushing to include E15 legislation into 'must pass' bills that are expected to be approved by the year's end," Grassley said.
