Just read that all the US refiners are going to stop using MTBE as a gas additive in 4 weeks, reportedly because the US Congress will not pass a bill stopping, or mitigating MTBE ground water contamination law suits. The only replacement for MTBE is ethanol and there is not and will not be enough ethanol online for 10 more months to replace MTBE, according to the article. Result, huge gas shortages this summer in the USA with huge price hikes to be the result.
