Economist says RFS saves drivers up to $1.50 per gallon

September 24, 2013 |

In Colorado, economist Philip K. Verleger, Jr. says Had Congress not raised the renewable fuels requirement, commercial crude oil inventories at the end of August would have dropped to 5.2 million barrels, a level two hundred million barrels lower than at any time since 1990. He says the US renewable fuels program has cut annual consumer expenditures in 2013 between $700 billion and $2.6 trillion. This translates to consumers paying between $0.50 and $1.50 per gallon less for gasoline.
