As part of its comprehensive program to reduce air pollution, California has mandated the use of a cleaner burning reformulated gasoline introduced in March 1996. In 1995 the Air Resources Board, with oversight from an industry, public interest, and governmental advisory committee, undertook an extensive study of the performance and compatibility characteristics of California reformulated gasoline in on-road, off-road, and non-vehicle engines. The evaluation included in-use comparison of California reformulated gasoline to conventional gasoline in normal fleet operations. Fleets totaling 829 test and 637 control vehicles were studied. Additionally, off-road and non-vehicle in-use testing was conducted covering engine technologies in the following uses: utility, lawn and garden applications; pleasure craft and small marine vessels; agricultural and industrial engines; and recreational snowmobiles and personal watercraft. California reformulated gasoline was found to perform as well as conventional gasoline in terms of driveability, starting, idling, acceleration, power, and safety.

Enormous progress has been made in the past 40 years in reducing vehicle emissions in the United States and around the world. Emission control technology has progressed from rudimentary engine controls to sophisticated computer-controlled catalyst systems. Another major factor in reducing emissions, whose contribution is not as well known as that of the hardware, is the fuel. This paper will review three significant fuel changes; unleaded gasoline, deposit control additives, and reformulated gasoline. In will provide the background for these changes and the technical data to substantiate the changes. It will also delve into the people and the strategies involved for implementing the changes, and some of the major aftereffects of the changes.
