EPA Announces Emergency Fuel Waiver To Boost Gasoline Supply, Lower Prices
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving to increase the domestic gasoline supply by enacting a temporary emergency fuel waiver that will take effect on September 1, Breitbart News has learned. [some emphasis, links added]
In coordination with the Department of Energy, the EPA’s waivers will allow the sale of E10—gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol—at a higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP).
RVP measures how easily gas evaporates; a higher RVP means more emissions, while a reduced RVP results in lower emissions.
During the winter months, the EPA allows gas to have a higher RVP to help with cold-weather starting.
By enacting this waiver, the EPA will effectively end the warm-weather RVP requirements early, with officials estimating that domestic gas supply will increase by hundreds of thousands of barrels per day.
With a greater supply on the market, officials said U.S. consumers will see lower prices at the pump.
The current national fuel average is about $4.10 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). The West Coast is seeing high average prices, with Californians paying nearly $5.60.
Just a year ago, the national average was about $3.13 per gallon.
“President Trump has prioritized ensuring American families have affordable gasoline and energy. Throughout this administration, EPA has taken decisive action like issuing RVP waivers to provide relief at the pump and fortify our gasoline supply chain,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in a statement to Breitbart News.
“Today, we continue this work with our federal partners to increase supply and lower gas prices for all Americans,” Zeldin continued.
“Across the administration, we will continue to execute President Trump’s agenda and provide Americans with a prosperous and affordable nation.”
Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright concurred, adding in a statement that “increasing the supply of gasoline means lower prices for American families.”
According to Wright, his joint action with the EPA is another example of the Trump administration “using every available tool to cut red tape, increase the supply of gasoline, and lower prices at the pump.”
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are advancing commonsense policies that prioritize energy addition and put the American people first,” the secretary added.
The waiver will remain in place through the end of the summer control season on September 15, when the requirements around RVP begin to loosen as the country heads into colder months.
According to a press release from the EPA, the announcement was made ahead of September 1 to give the gas industry enough time to transition its fuel distribution systems.

Let’s get to the nut of the problem. Due to El Trumpo’s idiotic war against Iran and the fiddling around in the Ukraine, there has been severe damage done to critical gasoline refining infrastructure in same parts of the world. Oil is useless unless you have refineries to alter it into usable products. While we stupidly stay glued to Iran, the risks of further destruction remain viable. These band aides will do nothing and are attempting to sooth the voters come November. Verdict: Another big fat failure.

Let’s get to the nut of the problem. Peanut Farmer and Kissinger got us in the mess in 1979/80 by upsetting the balance of power by going after the Shah. We have been dealing with Islamist A-Holes ever since, with Iran supporting terrorism like on October 7 worldwide. But of course, that was Trump’s fault. Then we have Obama and Biden sending all that cash under the cover of darkness to the Iranians, which was used to support Hamas, etc. And Obama stood by while Russia invaded Crimea, and Uncle Joe said, “Don’t,” which the Russians ignored and invaded Ukraine anyway. They laughed at him after seeing people falling from airplanes during the Afghanistan Bugout. Another Trump Hater. Not to mention States like California and Washington having extreme “fix the Climate” taxes while China and India ignore any real attempt to stop any pollution due to coal or oil burning. But go ahead and support your Big D Democratic Socialists. SAD.

Remember This Charles Manson Interview?
Sometimes the truth comes from the most unexpected places. This old interview with Charles Manson might make you pause for a second and really think about how the world works. Forget the messenger for a moment and just listen to the message. He talks about money, power, corporations, and how the system affects everyday people. Whether you agree or not, it’s one of those clips that makes you sit back and reflect on society, the economy, and who really benefits from it all.
