Ethanol
Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their
auto fuel? I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none which show me the requirements. Thanks Dave |

Thanks Dave "Congress passed a law last year mandating a ramp-up to 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol by 2015 and 36 billion by 2022." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...olitics/senate I wasn't able to find the text of the requirement though. However, knowing the dates and amount might help your search. There is also a mandate that fuel contain a certain percentage of "renewable" content that probably also plays into this. -Robert |

Ethanol
Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their auto fuel? I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none which show me the requirements. Ethanol finds its way into auto fuel via state mandates that measure smog and other pollutants in major metro areas. The states mandate oxygenates as a cure-all for these problems when they reach certain measured thresholds (in other words, every day). The giant corn peddlers (like ADM) line the pockets of the politicos and presto! Ethanol appears in your tank. Any discussion of the relative merits vs. the downside is immediately silenced by corn lobby backed "research" to show the contrary. The corn peddlers win, the congress critters win, everyone else pays. In all, a "good day" in US politics. Mike (Holder of a USELESS auto fuel STC in the Chicago area) |

Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their auto fuel? The Clean Air Act of 1990 mandated Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) in certain states/counties. Many other locations opted in to the program. RFG is a gasoline with added oxygenates. In the old days, this was mostly accomplished using MTBE as an additive. Since the demise of MTBE, ethanol is the primary oxygenate in RFG. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200805/1 |

There is no Ethanol in any gas anywhere in Mexico. In fact they consider it inhumane to put ethanol in gas because it robs others of food by displacing farm land. -Robert |
