Subject: Legislation introduced to offer higher Octane Ron 98 at the pump.


This would be good.  Higher octane.. Higher Compression motors.. better MPG.. Lowers emmissions as well as potentially lowering (with ethanol) carcinogens released to the atmosphere.

House Bill Would Set High-Octane Standard

Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday would chart a course for a high-octane future for the ethanol industry.

Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Illinois, introduced the Next Generation Fuels Act to establish a new 98 Research Octane Number standard for gasoline and require sources of additional octane result in at least 30% lower greenhouse gas emissions than unblended gasoline.

In addition, the legislation would ensure progress already made to reduce emissions.

The ethanol industry has long held its future beyond the Renewable Fuel Standard lies in using much higher volumes of ethanol in gasoline in higher-performance vehicles.

A number of biofuels and agriculture interest groups came out in support of the legislation.

"The Next Generation Fuels Act of 2020 provides a bold and innovative approach to reducing carbon emissions, improving engine efficiency and performance, protecting human health, and removing the arcane regulatory roadblocks that have hindered the expansion of cleaner, greener liquid fuels," RFA President and Chief Executive Officer Geoff Cooper, said.
