Normally, stations can’t sell winter-grade fuel in the warmer months because it’s more volatile and can lead to extra smog and pollution in hot weather. But making winter gas is cheaper, so the state thinks the immediate benefit to consumers, more supply, lower prices, outweighs the environmental risk during this 90-day window.

To increase supply and stabilize prices during the busy summer, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issued this waiver. The order takes effect for 90 days, starting in May 2026, and covers both winter-grade gasoline and E15 blends. The focus is simple: curb the impact of global oil disruptions and give Floridians some breathing room at the pump.
