U.S. gasoline plagued by economic, technical uncertainty

The first year of reformulated gasoline (RFG) production turned out to be a mixed bag for the US refining industry. Refiners successfully ramped up RFG production and stocks in time to meet the regulatory deadline. But the backlash that followed was unexpected by many in the petroleum products industry. Even after a year of reformulated gasoline production, refiners still are perplexed by a number of issues, particularly the size of the market, composition of the gasoline, and the patenting of certain gasoline formulations anticipated to be needed for California. This special report is based on papers presented at the Oil and Gas Journal`s International Oxygenates Conference, October 2--3, 1995, in Houston. At this meeting, refiners and policy makers examined objectively the controversial issues surrounding RFG.
