Proposal To Weaken Or Eliminate Fuel Pump Labeling For E15 Draws Broad Opposition
The American Petroleum Institute (API), American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), BoatUS and American Motorcyclists Association (AMA) today released the following statement in response to the Trump administration s proposal to weaken or eliminate labeling requirements for E15 gasoline. EPA s top priority should be making sure consumers have the clearest information at the pump. This proposal doesn t just fall short, it would make it harder for consumers to distinguish the difference between E15 and E10 fuel. We are deeply concerned about the administration s reckless proposal to deprive consumers of basic information concerning their engine s compatibility with fuels they purchase.
“We are committed to ensuring, in a transparent manner, that the industry associations of which we are a member adopt positions and messages that are aligned with those of the Group in the fight against climate change.”

Biden becomes president Wednesday.
