National mandates? Once-size-fits-all specifications? Don't we know better than that? If people want to pay for oxygenates to reduce photoreactive smog, why shouldn't they be free to do so? It may resolve to a niche product, but there is nothing wrong with that.

I have a problem with mandates of any kind and (as you might expect) advocate a system that incorporates the price of air treatment into the buying decision. My trees would appreciate the investment and will take plastic. :-)

I wasn't thinking of a mandated formula, but one that sets the minimum threshold for emissions.

This EPA-mandated boutique recipe for each locality is asinine.

If you want to buy some exotic blend, and there are enough people like you, the market will give you what you want.
