What happens if the government changes the rules so that reformulated gasoline is no longer needed?
Not likely to happen. If anything the clean air standards are going to get tougher instead of being repealed. Under current law and all proposed legislation, states are not allowed to implement any program where air quality would “backslide” or deteriorate. If passed, the Renewable Fuels for Energy Security Act would require 3% of highway fuel come from renewable sources by 2011 and increasing to 5% by 2016. This would translate into 9 billion gallons by 2011 and 16 billion gallons by 2016. This amount of ethanol would require almost 6 billion bushels of corn, nearly 5 times what is processed into ethanol now. The state of California, Atlanta and New Orleans have applied and been rejected for a waiver from the EPA.
