Louisville area’s required use of government mandated reformulated gas is coming closer to an end. This move follows continued pressure residents and elected officials within the City of Louisville as well as State Elected Leaders in the Kentucky General Assembly. In response, the Mayor, as well as Governor, have moved forward with a proposal to end the Louisville area’s requirement to use reformulated gas.
The effectiveness and supposed benefits of RFG have been called into question for years. Reports suggest that not only was the gas more expensive for residents of the area, but it also didn’t burn as efficiently, which potentially led to other environmental harms.
In 2008 the Metro Council passed a resolution called for the elimination of EPA requirement to use RFG. Members then urged the Mayor and Metro Air Pollution Control District to submit a proposal that would allow for this to occur. More recently, changes in administrations as well as an increased push by legislators such as State Representatives Emily Callaway and Jarad Bauman, and State Senators Mike Nemes, Julie Adams, and Aaron Reed helped secure state support for this change.
This week, Mayor Greenberg signaled that the work at the local and state level were complete and that the final decision to remove the requirement for the Louisville area to use a specific type of boutique RFG was submitted to the EPA for their final approval.
If this proposal is accepted, every Louisville driver could see savings at the pump in the summer months. It is estimated that the use of specific types of gas, such as the ones prescribed for Louisville increase the per gallon cost of unleaded gasoline by ten to twenty-five cents per gallon during the summer months.
We thank those leaders who joined together to help to bring about these changes and fully support this proposed change.
