Report shows benefits of Philippines pushing to E20 mandate

In the Philippines, PhilStar Global newspaper reports the country could save $ million annually by increasing its ethanol blend to 20% from the current 10%, data from an USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report shows. The higher blend could also lower fuel prices by 4%. Even increasing the blend to just 15% could see a 2% cut in fuel costs at the pump. Although the country is exploring a voluntary 20% ethanol blend, the required regulations have yet to be published.
