• Could E-15 gasoline in Connecticut help your wallet at the pump? It really depends. (nbcconnecticut.com) — Plainville driver Timothy Sturges is feeling the pinch of Connecticut’s roughly $4-a-gallon gas, as the state tests whether newly allowed E-15 fuel can offer real savings. A temporary federal waiver lets some stations sell this higher-ethanol blend, but it’s hard to find, can’t be used in older cars or small engines, and may bring only modest, short-term relief.
