Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their
auto fuel?


The Clean Air Act of 1990 mandated Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) in certain
states/counties. Many other locations opted in to the program. RFG is a
gasoline with added oxygenates. In the old days, this was mostly
accomplished using MTBE as an additive. Since the demise of MTBE, ethanol is
the primary oxygenate in RFG.
