California Lifts Ethanol Cap: Gas Stations Can Now Sell Cheaper Fuel
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 30, a significant move that allows California's gas stations to start selling higher-ethanol fuel immediately. This action makes California the last state to lift its cap on ethanol-gasoline blending.
The new law enables fuel suppliers to offer gasoline blended with up to 15 percent ethanol, a substantial increase from the previous 10 percent limit. This change comes after the governor signed legislation introducing stricter rules for immigration enforcement officers in California.
The switch to higher-ethanol fuel is expected to bring about notable savings for consumers. The new fuel option is approximately 25 cents cheaper per gallon than traditional gasoline. This lower cost comes as air quality administration investigations continue to assess the environmental impact of increased ethanol availability.
With the signing of AB 30, California gas stations can now provide a more affordable fuel option to customers. The higher-ethanol fuel, priced around 25 cents less per gallon, is set to provide relief at the pump. However, the environmental implications of this shift are still under investigation.
