Starting in about 2005, almost all major metro areas had to make a certain spec gasoline that requires ethanol by EPA regs. Later, the EPA set a target for each refiner to blend a certain amount of gasoline with ethanol or pay a financial penalty if they miss the target. As a result, over 95% of gasoline sold in the US has ethanol. The EPA continues to push for more ethanol in gasoline.
