Gasohol tests and rules gain legislative approval
The Illinois House approved gasohol testing and fines for dealers not meeting standards after Gov. Thompson’s clarifications to the gasohol definition. The measure ties a 100 per day fine to violations and adjusts the water content limit to 1.25 percent by weight. The House also overrode Thompson’s amendatory veto to allow community colleges to use long term installment loans for construction projects.
