15) Summary and Purpose of Rule making :  Gasoline blended with ethanol has a higher vapor 
pressure than gasoline alone.  For gasoline -ethanol blends, Illinois adopts Section 2.1.2 of 
the Uniform Engine Fuels and Automotive Fuel Lubricants Regulations, NIST Handbook 
130, which in turn adopts ASTM D4814.  Although considered by ASTM several times , 
ASTM has not adopted vapor pressure exceptions to ASTM D4814.  Handbook 130 
therefore contains specific vapor pressure exceptions for gasoline -ethanol blends, but said 
exceptions will now expire on May 1, 2017. Without the vapor pressure exceptions, 
petroleum marketers are concerned with the cost of compliant fuel.  In addition, this      ILLINOIS REGISTER             13601

 rulemaking  will increase fungibility of gasoline -ethanol blends to and from other states.
