Noem among several other executives requesting sale of E-15 gas year-round

(South Dakota) -- South Dakota Governor is joining seven other Midwest state executives requesting the sale of E-15 gas year-round.

Governor Kristi Noem joined the other governors in a letter to President Biden, saying the sale of E-15 would improve air quality by reducing several emission types. Currently, the sale of E-15 is banned in multiple states over the summer because it is believed the gas can contribute to smog in warmer weather. 

President Biden is temporarily allowing the sale of E-15 nationwide, in an attempt to bring gas prices down.
