URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)
Pennsylvania Bill to Eliminate Ethanol Requirement in Gasoline Approved by Committee; Moves to House Floor
Legislation (H.B. 471) to remove the requirement that gasoline offered for sale in the state contain a percentage of ethanol was approved on a 23 – 3 vote by the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. Currently, the state requires that “All gasoline sold or offered for sale to ultimate consumers in this Commonwealth must contain at least 10% cellulosic ethanol by volume . . .” After a stop in the Appropriations Committee, the bill will then be considered in a vote by all House members.
Please Contact All Members of the Pennsylvania House (List Below) Immediately to Request Support for H.B. 471
- H.B. 471 recognizes that ethanol fuels cause problems with fuel pumps, fuel gauges, as well as other engine performance issues, especially over a period of time when the vehicle is not used. Current high performance specialty parts along with pre-model year 2001 cars and parts may be most susceptible to corrosion.
- H.B. 471 acknowledges that ethanol has been shown to decrease fuel mileage.
- H.B. 471 recognizes that the life span of vehicles and equipment can be dramatically reduced with the wrong fuel and that owners could be confronted with break downs. Anti-corrosion additives are available for each purchase of gasoline but can become expensive, burdensome and require consumer education.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact all House members to request support for H.B. 471.
