Dinneen says ethanol is reducing dependence on foreign oil and holding down the price of gasoline. Ethanol is typically cheaper than petroleum. Fuel makers now add it to gasoline regardless of the law. So waiving the mandate would not matter much for now.

Dinneen說乙醇的使用減少了對國外石油的依賴，壓低了汽油的價格。

乙醇的價格明顯低于石油，不管有沒有這條法律，現在燃料生產商都會把乙醇添加到汽油里。所以廢止這項要求如今沒什么意義。
