Refiners Push EPA to Scrap Gasoline Rule That Automakers Want
This article is for subscribers only.
Refiners are pushing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to delay tighter pollution rules for gasoline, while automakers say they need the cleaner fuel.
The rules will probably be delayed beyond an EPA deadline of this month. The agency hasn’t sent them to the White House for review, a process that can take 90 days to complete. And EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson already pledged that the agency will limit its rules -- whenever they come out -- to a cut of sulfur in gasoline.
