Cleaner gasoline rule would raise pump prices nationwide
The EPA proposed anti pollution rules to cut sulfur in gasoline and tighten auto emission standards, with costs seen as under a penny per gallon by the agency but 6 to 9 cents by oil industry studies. Vehicle price rises about 130 dollars in 2025, yet health benefits could reach seven dollars per dollar spent. EPA holds hearings before finalizing, targeting 2017 implementation, praised by greens and automakers, opposed by oil industry and Republicans citing already high gas prices.
