Relying on consumers to purchase ED85 instead of gasohol is too uncertain of an approach to meeting the mandate. Among their findings were: RFS2 is satisfied at extreme oilprices (at least $215/barrel). This oilprice encourages biofuel use in the RFS2 timeframe, but not in the long run.

FedEx joins Southwest Airlines, which signed a purchase agreement with RedRock in November 2014 for about 3 million gallons per year, in purchasing Red Rock’s total planned available volume of jet fuel. The agreement runs through 2024, with first delivery expected in 2017. Earlier post.).
The report notes that these estimates are highly subject to variation and could be altered by unexpected shocks such as a major oilprice spike or by planned conditions such as aggressive incentive programs.
In two other scenarios considered, a high oilprice scenario (using EIA projections) and a battery swap operator-subsidzied scenario, EV new vehicle sales penetration reaches 85% and 86% respectively by 2030. The high rate of adoption is driven by the low purchaseprice and operating costs of electric cars with switchable batteries.
The expected influx of large amounts of alcohol-based fuels and fuels derived from unconventional petroleum over the next decade may cause long-term world oilprices to be between 5 and 12% lower than they would be in the absence of those fuels.
