- ARCO, San Francisco, CA (United States)
In early 1989, ARCO launched the world`s first reformulated gasoline: EC-1 Regular. The decisions made by the company prior to the production of EC-1 are reviewed. Gasoline is the primary transportation fuel in America. Nearly 98% of the 190 million vehicles in this country run on gasoline or diesel fuel. EC-1 Regular was designed for use in old cars without catalytic converters - the pre-1975 vehicles designed for using leaded fuel. EC-1 Regular cut pollution from those old cars in the Los Angeles Basin by 20%, equivalent to removing thousands of these cars from the road. The advantages of using EC-1 Regular gasoline are discussed.
