The Sandia researchers showed that the key to meeting the RFS2 targets is the fuel price differential between E85 fuel and conventional gasoline (low ethanol blends), so that E85 owners refuel with E85 whenever possible. The Sandia study examines the set of circumstances under which the RFS2 mandate might be satisfied.
