Boutique motor fuel footprint shrinks

摘要

Score one victory for Kentucky marketers who around this summer’s midpoint will no longer have to sell reformulated gasoline in three northern counties. Western Pennsylvania markets also may join Kentucky and numerous other portions of the country in returning to a more standard conventional gasoline. New regulations published recently in the Federal Register would allow the Kentucky counties of Boone, Kenton and Campbell to instead sell a 9-psi RVP conventional gasoline. Thanks to the slow wheels of government paperwork, marketers will probably make the switch to conventional fuel right around July 1, near the peak of the summer driving season.
