Pressure on the RFS2 has increased as statutory mandated volumes of biofuel exceed the “blendwall” of 10% ethanol in gasoline. Ethanol has about one-third lower energy density than gasoline; accordingly, cars drive fewer miles per gallon when operating on ethanol blends compared with unblended gasoline.
