Over the past decade, the vast majority of U.S. pump gasoline has transitioned to 10% ethanol—or even, depending on where you are, 15% ethanol. The EPA tests that bring us official fuel economy numbers are just in the process of catching up with that reality. Tier 3 tests run on E10 aren't mandated until model year 2021.
Under the Biden administration, the EPA has proposed rules that will support a fleet mix of about 40% EVs by 2030 and arrive at a slightly tighter level by.
