Cleaner gas for Cincinnati
Beginning next summer, Cincinnati and Dayton will begin using an environmentally friendlier type of gasoline at the pumps in an attempt to reduce ozone and smog in the area.
The gasoline will cost about 1 to 3 cents more per gallon, and will bring Southwest Ohio in line with federal pollution standards. The new gasoline is a blend that emits fewer vapors and burns cleaner than the current type, and is a measure enacted in order to replace the Ohio EPA’s echeck. It’s estimated that this measure will cost the average driver about $15 more each year in gasoline costs.
This measure will help offset air pollution in the area, but remember that carpooling, biking, or taking the bus rather than driving is a sure way to reduce gasoline consuption to help both pollution and your wallet.
