There are something like 3 dozen different “formulations” of gasoline that various cities and states and EPA across the US have demanded the oil companies produce. That makes the companies problems in supplying gasoline more difficult and more expensive and more problematic.

He basically said “all that garbage is out the window” and that companies can deliver whatever they can get to their customers for now.

Many of us believe that those stupid regs should all have been thrown out forever a long time ago, not merely suspended.

“formulations” does not simply have to do with ethanol, though it can be a part in some locales.

It has to do with additives and other stuff to make the gasoline politically correct for that state or city.

Very good info. Thanks. I was secretly hoping that ethanol was one of those formulations to be canned.
