Iowa E15 sales in August hit second-highest record
In Iowa, Iowa fuel terminals distributed more than 46 million gallons of E15 during August, the second highest amount on record, according to monthly fuel tax data released by the Iowa Department of Revenue. Based on Iowa Renewable Fuels Association projections, E15 is on track to eclipse E10 as the No. 1 selling fuel in Iowa in 2026.
“It will be close, but E15 is on track to become Iowa’s top-selling fuel for 2026,” said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw. “With 46 million gallons in August, Iowa drivers are sending a clear message: they want E15. As more Iowa retailers have given drivers the chance to buy E15, the numbers are impossible to ignore.”
August E15 sales were just behind the record 48 million gallons sold in May, continuing a strong year of growth for the ethanol blend. The sales numbers demonstrate the growing demand from Iowa drivers for E15 when it is available year-round.
E15 typically saves consumers 15 cents or more per gallon compared to E10, while supporting demand for Iowa-grown corn and strengthening America’s domestic fuel supply.
