Different regions need different formulations. Geography and population density affect the amount of smog produced in different areas. And weather also plays a role. Places like L.A. need formulations that go farther to reduce emmissions than out on the Great Plains.

tacklingfuel Rookie Author Ontario Posts:91 Points:36,950 Joined:Apr 2007	Message Posted: May 30, 2007 10:56:13 AM Ignore tacklingfuel Report Abuse No, cause differant regins have differant requirments, including weather, population - adds to smog the more the not so merrier and landscape. certain gases would freeze your fuel lines in cold temps.

drawde Champion Author Worcester Posts:1,463 Points:1,300,990 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: May 23, 2007 9:37:12 AM Ignore drawde Report Abuse Yes, because then everyone including the people in California would NOT be paying California prices. There would be issues in California regarding supply and they might pay more, and yes, I am sure that people in some states would be paying more. But overall it would help supply throughout teh country to have just one product spec. In Massachusetts we use e10 and it is supposed to be CARB spec stuff and we aren't paying those high prices. I've got to believe that if e10 was the only product available that it would be even cheaper here.

Imagine if everyone was paying California prices.
