Next Generation Fuels Act: Cleaner Fuels, More Efficient Vehicles

This act aims to introduce new standards for fuels and vehicles to improve car efficiency and reduce pollution. This means that from 2028, new cars will be designed to run on higher octane fuels with increased ethanol content, which may affect refueling costs and fuel availability at gas stations. The changes are intended to lower emissions and enhance vehicle performance.
Key points
New cars (from model year 2028) will require higher octane fuel (95 or 98) and higher ethanol content (up to 25% or 30%).
Gas stations will need to offer higher octane fuels, which may impact fuel availability and prices.
The act introduces penalties for improper fuel use or modifications to vehicles/dispensers that do not comply with new requirements.
Car manufacturers will be required to provide warranties for vehicles adapted to the new fuels.
New fuel labeling rules will be implemented at gas stations to inform drivers about the requirements for their vehicles.
