休斯顿,3月24日(路透社) – 两位知情人士透露,特朗普政府预计最早将于周三宣布,将暂时取消联邦层面针对夏季混合汽油的烟雾减排限制,以遏制伊朗战争引发的能源价格上涨。

这一举措将使汽油价格降低,因为炼油厂和零售商无需转而使用成本更高的夏季混合燃料。此外,燃油零售商在整个夏季驾驶季(通常情况下,美国大部分地区在此期间会严格限制E15汽油的使用)也将被允许继续销售含15%乙醇的E15汽油。

分析师表示,这一变化可能会使零售价每加仑降低几美分,并为面临燃料供应紧张的消费者和炼油厂提供缓解。美国汽车协会(AAA)的数据显示,美国普通汽油每加仑的平均价格最近已攀升至3.97美元以上,较今年年初低于3美元大幅上涨。

美国通常会在夏季切换到夏季汽油混合配方,以减少空气污染。这类配方挥发性较低,可限制在温暖天气中导致烟雾形成的蒸发。

随着伊朗冲突扰乱全球供应,石油和汽油价格大幅上涨。美国原油价格自2022年俄乌冲突以来首次突破每桶100美元。

负责监管这些规定的美国环境保护署(EPA)在一份声明中表示,该机构一直致力于推动美国能源主导地位,并正在”与行业和联邦合作伙伴监测供应情况”。

这一预期中的举措是白宫为应对夏季驾驶旺季临近、能源成本上升带来的经济和政治影响而采取的更广泛努力的一部分。

HOUSTON, March 24 (Reuters) – The Trump administration is expected to announce as soon ​as Wednesday that it will temporarily lift federal smog-cutting ‌restrictions on summer-blend gasoline to curb rising energy prices stemming from the war on Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The move would ​make gasoline cheaper by not forcing refiners and retailers to switch ​to more costly summer blends. Fuel retailers would also be allowed ⁠to continue selling gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, known as ​E15, throughout the summer driving season when stricter rules normally limit ​its use in much of the country.

Analysts say the change could shave several cents per gallon off retail prices and provide relief to both consumers ​and refiners struggling with tight fuel supplies. The U.S. average price ​for a gallon of regular gasoline recently climbed above $3.97, up sharply from below $3 ‌earlier ⁠this year, according to data from AAA.

The U.S. normally switches to summer gasoline blends to reduce air pollution. These blends have lower volatility, limiting evaporation that can contribute to smog in warmer weather.

Oil and gasoline ​prices have surged ​as the Iran conflict ⁠has disrupted global supply. U.S. crude topped $100 a barrel for the first time since the 2022 ​Russia-Ukraine shock.

In a statement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ​which ⁠oversees the regulations, said it has worked hard to promote American energy dominance and is “monitoring the supply with industry and federal partners.”

The expected move is ⁠part ​of a broader effort by the White ​House to contain the economic and political fallout from rising energy costs as peak ​summer driving season approaches.
