If you liked the price hike that came with ULSD a few years back, you are going to love Ultra Low-Sulfur Gasoline.

Abolish the EPA and send its bureaucrats to labor camps.

The Corn Lobby, Iowa and every other jerk that is keeping the Ethanol Myth alive, appreciates your ignorance.

Go to puregas.org for a list of ethanol free gas stations in the US and Canada. I'd post the link, but I suck.

Good Catch!

That should read hydrotreaters.

Autocorrect mistake I suspect.

The closest non-alcohol station to me is a tank of gas away,
but old red has two tanks.
So if I go there flat empty and fill both tanks,
I have to burn one just getting back home.
Then I drive around not wanting to use it,
because I don’t now when I can go get some more.

If the market for sulfur concrete ever takes off, some of the costs of extracting it from the crude could be offset.

We should not have to travel to buy pure gasoline.

All the ECO Idiots should be the ones driving to buy their “feel good” gasoline.

Yes when the EPA mandated lower sulphur diesel, the price went up, and availability went down. Expect the same when this mandate is applied to gasoline. The present 30 ppm is already low, so making it lower makes the effort to meet it very, very difficult. The refiners must buy more expensive crude and hit it hard during the process to meet the goal.

The EPA has an agenda, raise carbon fuel prices to the point the green energy can be said to be an alternative. Of course at that point we will be riding bicycles to work like in Denmark or Holland [countries the size of CT & Rhode Island].

And nothing I have runs good on ULSD. The red stuff smells good, the engines run much better. The old diesel and dirt have a smell you just can’t miss. I wonder how much longer red diesel will be around?

Here in California they fine the hell out of you for running red diesel on the highway.

They do everywhere else that I know of so I don’t. All off road.

They fine the hell out of you in Kalifornia for just about everything from what I hear. I’ll never go back there again.
