Record amount of ethanol blended into gasoline in 2022

The U.S. blended a record amount of ethanol into gasoline in 2022.

Data from the Energy Information Administration shows the blend rate averaged nearly ten and-a-half percent, with ethanol production up two percent on the year and consumption growing to almost 14 billion gallons.

Renewable Fuels Association CEO Geoff Cooper tells Brownfield ethanol helped expand the fuel market last year and kept gas prices from going even higher, and says gasoline stocks remain very tight.
