The EPA is nothing more than a governmental regulatory body that operates at the whim of the sitting president, whomever it is. The EPA should be regulated or disbanned. How many different blends of gasoline are there? And why is diesel so high?

Why is everyone becoming so compliant and accepting this $3.50 a gallon for gas? Remember when it was $.99 a gal. and everyone freaked?!! Everytime it goes up we become compliant and eventually accept it as the norm. GET THESE CLOWNS OUT OF OFFICE!!!!

Is it me or do some have trouble reading or is it that they just can't admit to being wrong?

"You mean the fact you're blaming Obama for something the EPA has required since 3 years before he was elected?"

Ah again...No, for the new requirements the EPA forcing under Obama in 2012.

In 2012 the EPA released a new forecast that projects a whopping 14 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol to be produced in 2013.

Feel free continue to ignore the facts. 68_dodge_polara

I don't think facts mean what you think they mean.

(the fact both your "supporting" documents are fox news kinda supports that idea)

Obama's EPA ruining the economical recovery by continuing to raise the cellulosic biofuels tax on refiners. Which we pay at the pump.

The the fact is that this product has never materialized and the EPA under Obama has refused the oil industry's request to stop fining the industry for failing to blend cellulosic ethanol in gasoline.- 68_dodge_polara

So... OBAMA raised the price of gasoline... by simply not changing the policy that existed 4 years before he was even sworn in?

I'm not sure you understand what the word raised means.

Especially when gas prices now are about the same as they were in the months before Obama was elected.

Here is the reference to 2005:

"Refiners are at their wit's end because the government set out requirements to blend cellulosic ethanol back in 2005, assuming that someone would make it. Seven years later, no one has."

The the fact is that this product has never materialized and the EPA under Obama has refused the oil industry's request to stop fining the industry for failing to blend cellulosic ethanol in gasoline.

So again Obama is at fault for a least a portion of the high gas prices. In fact in his own words before his first election he said he would like to eventually see gas prices closer to the 4 dollar a gallon mark.

Also yet another way Obama is raising fuel prices.

EPA blasted for requiring oil refiners to add type of fuel that's merely hypothetical

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/06/21/regulation-requires-oil-refiners-use-millions-gallons-fuel-that-is-nonexistent/ 68_dodge_polara

that makes even less sense than your last failed argument.

Your own source mentions the requirement was published in...

2005.

3 years before Obama was even elected.

But somehow you're blaming him for it?

It makes even less sense than that since the article doesn't mention it raising fuel costs in any way (how could it, since it does not exist?)
