"It's terrible," California Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom (D-Stockton) said. "What we're seeing right now is how quickly global events can drive up gas prices in California."
"E85 is a mixture of ethanol and gasoline," said Colin Murphy, with the UC Davis energy futures research program. "It can be anywhere up to 85% ethanol. That's where the E85 comes from."
"It is being viewed as an option for some price relief given the increase in gas prices due to the Iran war," Murphy said.
"It's typically up to $2.50 cheaper per gallon than regular gasoline," she said.
Now, she's introducing a bill that would allow people to use these aftermarket fuel modifications.
The conversion kits can cost several hundred dollars and need to be professionally installed.
But if gas prices continue to climb, Ransom says using E85 could provide drivers some relief.
Some cars may get fewer miles per gallon when using E85.
In 2024, there were more than 114-million gallons sold in California.
