Gasoline sold in Missouri must contain 10 percent ethanol effective Jan.
1.
Gov. Matt Blunt signed the legislation in July 2006, but it didnīt go into
effect until this year. Missouri became only the third state to implement a
broad ethanol requirement.
The legislation encourages lower gasoline costs by lifting the E-10 standard
when ethanol is more expensive than petroleum-based gasoline, according to
Bluntīs office.
Ethanol is a cleaner burning alternative to petroleum-based gasoline. It
contains more oxygen, which results in better combustion and fewer carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and carcinogenic emissions.
