The blender getting the RIN credit is. $2+ RIN credit trade value means big $ for every gallon of E-85 sold. It’s also why some can see sub $1/gallon E-85. Ethanol isn’t that cheap to produce, rather the RINs needed make E-85 sort of like a loss leader.
Correct.
The national ethanol price is currently around $1.90.. add normal transportation costs and markups.. without RINs offsetting.. E 85 would sell for north of $2.?? If you have access to cheaper product it’s because of the RVOs and RINs buying the costs down from the mandate.
IMO this will probably go away in the future..

Therefore, enjoy the benefits now.. but focus on growing the market overall.. aka I agree with kooiker.. E 30 is a better option which plays to ethanols strengths as an octane.. not gasoline.. alternative.
Im not sure the house E 15 language will make it.. Trump does not support it.. while he says he supports E 15.. so.. ?? |
More E85 pricing
