"Whether fruit, gasoline, or propane, I can trust I am getting what I pay for."
Image of consumer shopping
Every day, Americans make purchase decisions - at the grocery store, the gas pump, filling the propane bottle for their RV, or ordering a delivery of home heating oil. These diverse "daily necessities" have one common ingredient: the trust you can have that everything you weigh, pump or measure is accurate because of a national weights and measures program.

It is the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) and your state weights and measures inspectors that ensure a reliable system - providing confidence that you will get what you pay for.

Oregon's biofuel renewable fuel standard
The 2007 Oregon Legislative Assembly passed House Bill 2210 mandating the use of biodiesel and ethanol in Oregon's motor fuels. To address citizen's concerns about the mandate to blend all gasoline with ethanol, the 2008 Legislative Special Assembly passed Senate Bill 1079 providing exceptions for some specific applications.
Where to find gas without ethanol
Some specific applications are exempt from the mandate to use ethanol blended gasoline. The Oregon State Marine Board provides a list on their website of where to find non-blended fuel.
