Good News for California's Drivers / Women's History Month

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that they will eliminate the 2 percent oxygenate mandate later this year, allowing California refineries greater flexibility to produce more cost-effective gasoline formulations. For years, Congresswoman Bono, along with several of her California colleagues, has pressured the EPA to waive the 2 percent oxygenate mandate in California and worked to include this waiver in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
