Senators push Obama to propose clean gasoline rules

I’d certainly pay a penny more a gallon to reduce health care costs by $5 billion a year… duh!

The first thing they should do is stop adding ethanol to the gas. It lowers gas mileage,does not lower emissions and is corrosive. Most of all it raises price of all food. I would rather pay more for gas without that additive. The savings in food prices would more than make up for it. Devices with small engines will last longer. It destroys older cars, which most poor people have to drive. If they really want to help the poor, get rid of ethanol in gas!

Why? Just push for Natural Gas use – it’s DOMESTIC and MUCH cleaner – with no sulfur. We have enough to last the world a few hundred years.

In a clean burning device; it’s only real emissions are CO2 and Water.

Pretty easy.

So the EPA gets to dictate how much it will cost the suppliers/producers. I am tired of the goverment trying to dictate instead of govern. Is a reduction of emissions so important that it has to be even discussed. I think the economy demands more attention than a proposal for cleaner gasoline. Lets get the goverment spending under control before proposing how to move forward. All I see are more costs to the American people for these proposals. Lets get the priorities straight. The economy needs fixing, not clean gasoline.

TimoB – You’re an idiot if you really think a 20ppm reduction in Sulfur is going to have any effect on the Health of Americans. We are sick because we eat garbage and don’t exercise enough. Besides if we make these changes and the rest of the world doesn’t it will make zero difference to our health over the long haul as we share the pollutants from other industrialized countries that don’t have the regulations. It’s an obvious cash grab from our government to get more money from the oil companies at the expense of the populous. These costs will be passed on to us at the pump. Wake up America.
