There is a regulation for Tier 3 standards for automobiles that will reduce sulfur and other emissions that are very harmful. EPA's analysis says that will contribute a penny per gallon for gasoline. That is the kind of rule that would be stopped under the existing bill, and there is an enormous health impact. When you talk about people in poverty, they can afford a penny a gallon on gasoline and the oil companies can afford to absorb a penny a gallon, especially with all of the health and lives that can be enhanced by removing some of these very dangerous chemicals.
