Remember when diesel fuel jumped way above gasoline in price when the govt mandated low sulfur back in 2007?

Well here's a chance for gasoline to "catch back up"

would help cut smog-causing pollution from autos and bring the rest of the country's fuel supply in line with California's standards.

will cause a significant increase in the price of fuel thus furthering 0bama's goal of $7 - $8/gal gasoline.

The Good News: Diesel is once again going to be cheaper than Gasoline!

The Bad News: It ain’t because Diesel is getting cheaper!

And the entire sulfur cut - multiplied by 10 million - will be equal to around 1 nano-volcano eruption.

Folks, I know I’m a broken record...but we’re not talking top of the class (in any respect) when we’re talking the EPA, congress and the dork-O-dent.

Why the h*ll do we obey them?

And don’t even think of mentioning the constitution.

They don’t follow it, and neither should we.

Tell them (and make them)shove their silly little rules up their smelly septic Obamaholes.

This is not new: they've been doing that in Europe for nearly a decade.

European petrol (as gasoline is known there) have sulfur impurities of around 5 parts per million, very necessary to use the advanced de-NOx catalytic converters seen on many German-market Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Opel and Volkswagen vehicles.

On what scientific basis was this decision made by the EPA or was it just pulled out of their a$$?

Why not publish the necessity for these changes and let them be verified by an independent investigating team.

Include in the report if these spec changes are economically justifiable or will these further destroy the incentive for upgrading and/or expanding our domestic refineries.

As defined in the United States Constitution, what branch of government is the EPA to be writing law?

Yep. And beware of gas prices in areas of tourism. They suddenly went way up over the past week or so and will spike much higher. It might be a real good idea to be sure and fill up in the cities on the plains before going over the mountains.

What’s the projected cost impact of this? When I first read about it, I saw numbers like 60 cents per gallon. Recent articles indicate it would be pennies.
