A customer fuels a car Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at Kwik Trip, 2900 Holy Hill Rd. in Richfield, Wis. As of Sunday, the average price at the pump is $1.36 higher than it was one year ago. Most gasoline sold in the U.S. is blended with 10% ethanol, a biofuel that is currently cheaper than gas. In April, President Biden announced that the Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver to allow widespread sale of a 15% ethanol blend that is usually prohibited between June 1 and Sept. 15 because of concerns that it adds to smog in high temperatures. The waiver is another effort to help ease global energy markets that have been rocked since Russia invaded Ukraine.
