Year-round E-15 gas - What Minnesota wants

Did you know there's a type of gas called E-15? It's a little different and might be better for our world. In Minnesota, they want to sell this gas every day, but right now, they can't. 

Brian Werner, from the Minnesota Biofuels Association, is one of the people who wants this change. Together with 24 other groups, they wrote a letter asking for permission to sell E-15 all the time. 

Not just them, even some leaders from the Midwest want this! They talked to the EPA, a big group that looks after our environment. These leaders believe they can make the change because of a special clean air law. 

There’s a tiny problem though. An old EPA rule says no E-15 gas sales in the summer months, between June and September. But Brian thinks this rule needs an update. The good news is that this summer, they got a chance to sell E-15 because of a special rule. 

Minnesota is the leader in selling E-15. They have about 430 places where you can buy it. If the rule changes, it might make a lot of Minnesotans happy.
