Jobbers score in battle to force BP, other majors to provide fuel for blending

摘要

Lawmakers in South Carolina have told major oil companies that they must make available an ethanol-free fuel at racks so that jobbers can continue to produce their own 10% blends. Under the bill passed by the state Assembly, refiners also are barred from taking any action that would deny a distributor who has registered with IRS on Form 637 from being the blender of record, so qualifying for the 5. 1cts/gal federal tax break on ethanol blends.
