Reformulated Gas no more.

The EPA has decided to get rid of RFG fuel. No more MTBE or ethanol doped fuel for non attainment areas.
Ethanol might still be used in some areas as a kick back to the corn lobby, but it is no longer law that a oxygenate must be added.

How will this affect the price of fuel?

Surely you are joking Spacemule; it will have the same effect as everything else, including the Sun rising in the East, it will go up, up and more up, our oil people know no other direction.

Even if the EPA no longer requires it, our local government will probably continue on with no changes as a subsidy to farmers etc. Apparently California fought it because they had to truck it in from outside the state, they will probably drop it.

Well, they do come down sometimes. They are doing that now, down a nickel the other day. The problem is that they have NEVER come down to the point where they started the rise. Thus the overall effect is ever upwards.
