"President Donald Trump is expected to announce he is lifting a federal ban on summer sales of high-ethanol blends during a trip to Iowa on Tuesday.
The long-expected announcement is something of a reward to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who as Senate Judiciary Committee chairman led a contentious but successful fight to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The veteran Republican lawmaker is the Senate's leading ethanol proponent and sharply criticized the Trump administration's proposed rollback in ethanol volumes earlier this year."

Another Trump policy not thought out very well. First older vehicles can not burn high ethanol blends at all, any vehicle not built as flex fuel vehicle, will run poorly, and may suffer fuel system damage. Anything over 10% ethanol for millions of vehicles on the road will have issues. But maybe the car companies will like it as it may force many to buy a different vehicle. We already have issues with excessive ethanol in fuel tanks due to the way fuel jobbers mix it, and moisture in the air and storage tanks will cause it to separate. Most dealers check fuel content regularly for driveability issues now.
