An EPA document shows that a new Chevron fuel ingredient has a lifetime cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than what the agency usually finds acceptable — even greater than another Chevron fuel’s sky-high risk disclosed earlier this year.

    Is there any actual point to the chemical that chevron wants to add to the fuel mixture, or is it just filler to make the fuel cheaper to produce, thus making more money for chevron?

    Having a purpose wouldn’t make this ok, but not having a purpose other than filler would make this even more sleazy!

      It’s fuel made from waste plastic.

      So once the process is more refined it would be great, because it’s clearly not ready.
