Auto, oil execs open Round 2 of sulfur spat: Carmakers want cleaner fuel, but refiners resist costly changes

摘要

WASHINGTON - By calling for cleaner gasoline to help reduce tailpipe emissions, automakers again have put themselves on a collision course with the oil industry. Regulators at the EPA could propose new national standards next year modeled after California's updated Low Emission Vehicle rules, which are scheduled to phase in from the 2015 through 2025 model years and would require major cuts in air pollution. Automakers say they are willing to follow California rules across the United States.
