During the 1990s the refinery began producing Chevron Plus Unleaded gasoline, which replaced regular leaded gasoline in California in 1992. [9] Methyl tert-butyl ether, or MTBE, was added as an oxygenate and to raise the octane number. MTBE was found to contaminate groundwater, and in 2004 was replaced with ethanol. [10]
REC-90 is an ethanol-free, 90 octane unleaded gasoline blend designed for use in recreational/marine engines which can be damaged by the ethanol found in other gasoline blends. It is also usable in some aviation engines [ 1 ] and automotive engines, though it has not been thoroughly tested for cars and trucks.
