The costs are grotesquely out of proportion with the minuscule benefits. Other ways of reducing air pollution, which are far more efficient, should be used in preference to schemes such as this. The air in this country is much, much cleaner than it was forty years ago, thanks to the Clean Air Act and other effective measures, but not everything purported to clean up the air actually works or is worth anything near the costs. MTBE is one of those that most decidedly is not.S. T.

Instead of launching an investigation, I'm sure this time she is preparing a bill to reverse the federal gas surcharge (tax of 18.4 cents/gallon per http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=80). <BR/>She's particularly interested in reversing the 1993 Clinton/Gore add-on.
