The fight over higher ethanol fuel blends took a major step this week as the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, by a vote of 218 to 203. The legislation would allow the year-round sale of E15 gasoline nationwide by removing current seasonal restrictions tied to federal smog regulations.

In last week’s Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) Legislative Update, we warned that the debate surrounding E15 was beginning to intensify on Capitol Hill. This week’s House action confirms that fuel policy will remain a major issue for motorcyclists moving forward.

Supporters of the legislation argue that expanding access to E15 gives consumers more fuel choices and may help reduce fuel prices. Opponents, however, continue to raise concerns about compatibility with existing vehicles and equipment, including motorcycles and other small-engine products not designed for higher ethanol blends.

While the House vote marks an important milestone for the legislation, the battle is far from over. The United States Senate must still consider the bill, where supporters will likely need 60 votes to advance the measure.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation remains committed to protecting rider access to safe and suitable fuel options. The MRF’s top priority in this debate continues to be ensuring the widespread availability of E10 or lower ethanol fuel blends for the motorcycles currently on America’s roads.

As Congress continues to debate the future of America’s fuel supply, the MRF will remain engaged with lawmakers and coalition partners to ensure the concerns of street riders are heard loud and clear in Washington, D.C.

Capitol Hill is once again the battleground for a growing debate over the future of America’s fuel supply, this time centered on whether to allow the year-round sale of E15 (a gasoline blend containing 15% ethanol) nationwide.

Currently, federal regulations restrict the sale of E15 during the summer months due to concerns related to emissions. However, in recent years, several states have been granted waivers or special allowances to permit the year-round sale of E15. What was once a limited exception is now being used as the foundation for a broader legislative push in Congress to make permanent, nationwide access to E15 a reality.

Supporters of the change point to potential cost savings at the pump and benefits for domestic ethanol producers. But for motorcyclists, the issue is far more complicated and concerning.

Most motorcycles on the road today are designed and tested to run on E10 fuel, a gasoline blend containing 10% ethanol. Higher ethanol blends, including E15, are not approved for use in many motorcycles and small-engine vehicles. The risks are well-documented: increased wear on engine components, fuel system damage, and in some cases, manufacturer warranties voided.

These are why the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) is actively engaged in this fight.

A central pillar of the MRF’s legislative agenda is ensuring the continued, widespread availability of E10 fuel. As Congress considers expanding E15 sales, the MRF is working to make sure that motorcyclists are not pushed to the margins of the marketplace.

The concern is straightforward: as E15 becomes more prevalent, E10 could become harder to find. Without proper safeguards, riders may face fewer fueling options or an increased risk of inadvertently using incompatible fuel.

The MRF is urging lawmakers to take a balanced approach. Any legislation expanding E15 must also include provisions that guarantee access to E10, improve pump labeling, and prioritize consumer awareness, especially for those operating vehicles not designed for higher ethanol blends.
