On the recordApril 10, 2003
Our constituents are concerned about gasoline price volatility. This energy bill addresses part of these concerns by promoting the use of domestic renewable fuels like ethanol. However, current regulations prohibit retailers from commingling ethanol and non-ethanol blended gasoline in their storage tanks. This limits the ability of retailers to provide uninterrupted gasoline service at the best price for their customers and could lead to higher retail prices. We should correct this problem.
