Bush tried to “pass the buck” on high fuel prices by blaming them on “boutique” fuels (required cleaner burning fuels). Unfortunately for Bush, the EPA sees it differently: “Boutique” gasoline blends to help states meet clean air rules are not a factor in higher prices as President Bush has suggested, says a draft of a […]
