If the government limit on having only 10 percent ethanol per gallon of gas stays in place, it will actually prevent the 2007 energy bill’s Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) from being fulfilled. The RFS calls for a minimum of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels to be used nationwide by 2022; this is much more than 10 percent of the total 135+ billion gallon gasoline market, meaning fuels higher than E10 will need to be used to fulfill the RFS.
