Lawmakers are debating whether to allow, a fuel blend of 15 percent ethanol and gasoline, to be sold year-round. Currently, sales are restricted during the summer due to concerns about ground-level ozone and smog. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a five-year waiver, citing expensive gas prices and geopolitical reasons. Bill Pracht, president and CEO of East Kansas Ag Energy, supports year-round availability.

The debate over availability relates to the current state of the refinery industry, which Chip Roy and John Barrasso have expressed concerns about. Proponents of year-round claim the fuel could save drivers 10 to 25 cents a gallon at the pump and boost the U.S. corn market.
