House lawmakers passed a measure to allow year-round sale of ethanol blend, known as E15, giving a boost to farmers sought for months by corn-state lawmakers.  

The House voted 218-203 to pass the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel ​Retailer Choice Act, which would allow the sale of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol year‑round nationwide. The bill would also revise the Renewable Fuel Standard, a federal policy that mandates that gasoline and other transportation fuels contain minimum amounts of fuel from renewable resources.
