bingo- bill amendment Exceptions to ethanol mandate for all grades of gasoline To address citizens concerns about the mandate to blend all gasoline with 10% by volume ethanol, the 2008 Legislature Special Assembly passed Senate Bill (SB) 1079 (36 KB pdf) providing exceptions for very specific applications. SB 1079 allows non-ethanol blended gasoline of any grade for the following applications only: Aircraft, Antique vehicles, All-terrain vehicles, Racing activity vehicles, Snowmobiles, Tools including but not limited to lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and chain saws, or Watercraft. Locations are not required to offer a non-ethanol blended fuel, but they have the ability to make a business decision to provide it based upon customer demand. The Oregon State Marine Board has a list of locations on their website offering non-ethanol blended gasoline.
