Renewable Fuel Standards Information What does this
Renewable Fuel Standards Information Since September 16th, 2013, refiners and pipelines throughout the country have been transitioning to a Sub-Octane gasoline (typically 84 octane). As a result, all sub-octane gasoline will require premium or ethanol to be added in order to meet state octane minimums. The driving factor behind this transition is the Renewable Fuels Standard that was passed by Congress in 2005. This standard requires a refiner to off-set fossil fuel production with a renewable fuel such as ethanol. Due to the limited tank space at terminals throughout the United States, pipelines are transitioning to sub-octane gasoline. Pipeline companies (such as NuStar and Magellan) may determine when to move to sub-octane unleaded gasoline only.
