MAYBE HELPFUL, MAYBE NOT

By Bob Walsh

 

E15 pump label
 
Gavin Newsom, the all-knowing benevolent dictator of the formerly great state of California, signed a bill into law yesterday permitting the sale of E-15 gasoline in CA.  He is apparently truly desperate to increase the available gasoline supply in CA prior to his runup for the 2028 presidential election.  

I am unsure of what the market effect will be.  Most CA gas stations do not have E-15 pumps and most CA specific vehicles are not tuned for E-15 fuel so I don't know how much it will help.  

Perhaps it really is the thought that counts.
