DESCRIPTION

California Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom is backing a new proposal aimed at lowering fuel costs for drivers. Assembly Bill 2046 would allow Californians to install EPA-approved E85 fuel conversion kits currently restricted under state law. Supporters say the measure could give drivers a cheaper option at the pump as gas prices remain high.
