URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Pennsylvania Proposes Elimination of Ethanol Requirement in Gasoline
Legislation (H.B. 471) to remove the requirement that gasoline offered for sale in the state contain a percentage of ethanol was introduced in the Pennsylvania House. 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 . . .”
Please Contact Members of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee (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 House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee members to request support for H.B. 471.
