While E15, a fuel blend containing 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline, has been available at pumps throughout much of the United States for years, it has not historically been sold year-round. That may soon change, as the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, legislation aimed at allowing permanent year-round E15 sales across the country. The bill still requires Senate approval before becoming law, but in the meantime, the EPA has continued issuing temporary summer waivers allowing E15 sales during months when fuel volatility regulations would normally restrict them.

One area that stands out is the aftermarket, especially with the continued popularity of trucks. A tire and wheel package paired with a lift or leveling kit might sell the job, but the real profit is in everything around the install. Removing OEM components, installing aftermarket parts, and torquing everything back to spec all require the right tools, accurate information, and a level of experience most customers would rather not tackle themselves. What starts as a basic strut replacement can quickly turn into a ticket that is well worth the effort.
