- Fuel-Up and Know Your State's Renewable & Alternative Energy Policies -
Everyday we receive requests for fuel laws from the public. Supplying this information is time-consuming since fuel laws are constantly changing and energy policies are different in each state.
The Federal government and EPA issues policies, requirements and guidelines that must be adhered to; But the fuel/energy laws that affect consumers the most are determined and enacted by each individual state.
With volumes of information to sort and condense it will take time to include the most important information on this website.
In time we hope to complete a separate page for each and every state.
Know Both Federal & State Laws...
There's lots of exciting news going on right now regarding the development of future energy sources, that will offer many advantages.
The U.S. is finally realizing that conventional gasoline needs to be replaced with something else. We can no longer ignore the drawbacks of petroleum - Including pollution, emissions, dependence on foreign countries, rising cost, etc.
In the meantime consumers must be aware of the specific ethanol (renewable, reformulated, oxygenating) gasoline laws for their area -
Federal and state laws have changed significantly regarding ethanol, during the transition from MTBE to Ethanol for fuel oxygenation.
E10 Sticker Labeling Laws
The Federal government (EPA) Standards do NOT require labeling when ethanol alcohol is added to fuel.
Each state decides whether or not to label gas pumps with an E10 sticker.
Only 8 states always label to inform and warn customers that gas contains alcohol. About 13 states do NOT require E10 pump labels to inform and warn consumers that gasoline contains ethanol alcohol...
