I read a WSJ article today saying the president intends to overturn EPA rules to allow ethanol to be added to fuel during Summer months. The petroleum companies vowed to fight this. I did not know that ethanol was illegal in fuel during Summer months. I purchase fuel that is specifically marketed as ethanol free for my outboards.
“Under the decision to be made public Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency will allow gasoline with a 15% mix of ethanol to be sold year-round, instead of just eight months a year, effective as soon as it is published in the Federal Register, which officials expect to happen within days.”
This suggests that any grade of gasoline from any station is ethanol free during Summer months. Am I missing something, or does that seem to be the case? Do I not need to buy fuel specifically marketed as ethanol free during Summer months? Of course, if the change goes through, then I WILL need to seek ethanol free fuel.
What do you think?
