The bill would also require major US gasoline companies to carry E-85 renewable fuel (85% ethanol), and for 50% of their gasoline stations to extend and increase the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS). To assist in this increase in FFVs, all major gas companies would be required to have 50% ethanol distribution tanks equipped to all their facilities.
