ARCO EC-1 HISTORY:
" EC-1’s unveiling in Los Angeles County at a well-attended news conference in late August drew national attention, and local and state officials backed Arco’s claims that EC-1 could result in dramatic air quality improvements if all vehicles that use leaded regular were to convert to EC-1.
As the debate intensified about what is the best fuel to meet proposed clean air standards, EC-1 was hailed as an innovation that would focus talk around reformulated gasoline as a viable alternative to methanol, ethanol and compressed natural gas.
But sales of EC-1 have not set records. The gasoline went on sale Sept. 1 as a replacement for Arco’s leaded regular in Southern California--and the company’s share of the leaded gasoline market promptly dropped." -
