“what you suggest the U.S. use as an oxygenate in our gasoline”

Same thing we used prior to 1992, nothing.

It’s my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) that MTBEs were used exculsively prior to ‘92,, at which time the Feds began phasing them out, after large amounts of MTBE residue were found in California’s drinking water. Later MTBEs were found to be carcinagenic, and were outlawed.

So going back to what was used in 1992 doesn’t appear to be realistic to me.

What am I missing?
