The Environmental Protection Agency just recently proposed new regulations for gasoline in the United States. The new rules would�significantly�reduce the sulfur, nitrogen oxide, and benzene content in conventional gasoline. Of course, this has sent the oil refinery business into a frenzy and many refiners are claiming that the regulations are too cost-prohibitive to enact.
