"Oil Lobby Launches New Campaign Against Ethanol Mandate"

"The top oil and gas lobby group is launching a new advertising campaign against the federal ethanol mandate.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) will run a 'multifaceted advocacy campaign' against the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for the next month ahead of a deadline for the Obama administration to finalize three years of standards under the mandate.

Bob Greco, the group director of API’s downstream and industry operations, said Wednesday that the campaign would include television, radio and online ads, focused on 'the negative consequences higher ethanol mandates could have on consumers.' The campaign will be targeted at the Washington, D.C. market."
