PR NEWSWIRE) Tosco Expands Program to Supply Gasoline Without MTBE to Nor Tosco Expands Program to Supply Gasoline Without MTBE to Northern California STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Tosco Corporation announced today that it will extend its non-MTBE gasoline program in Northern California. In April, Tosco initiated a six-month pilot project to provide non-MTBE gasoline at its 76 branded retail outlets in Sonoma, Marin and Contra Costa Counties. Gasoline sold at these stations is blended with ethanol, instead of MTBE. Five additional retail outlets in Contra Costa County will be added to the 52 outlets already in the program. In addition, Tosco will expand its non-MTBE gasoline program by not adding MTBE to the remainder of its Bay Area wintertime unleaded regular grade gasoline produced from its San Francisco Area Refinery at Rodeo. This unleaded regular gasoline will meet all of California's Cleaner Burning Gasoline standards without adding oxygenates.
