API: EPA MUST DO MORE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS UNTIL CONGRESS CAN REPEAL THE RFS

摘要

EPA must do more to ensure Americans have access to fuels they want and can safely use in their vehicles until Congress can repeal the outdated Renewable Fuel Standard program outright, API President and CEO Jack Gerard told reporters in a conference call Friday following EPA's proposal for the 2014,2015, and 2016 RFS mandates. "Consumers' interest should come ahead of ethanol interests," said Gerard. "EPA assumes growing demand for high-ethanol fuel blends that are not compatible with most cars on the road today, potentially putting American consumers, their vehicles and our economy at risk."
