The governor said he wants the legislature to approve a bill that will allow gas stations to abrogate contracts that require them to sell fuel provided by only one company. Since most major fuel companies don't supply alternative fuels, service stations are bound by their contracts not to offer those fuels, the governor said.
Pataki also said he wants the state to abolish taxes on biodiesel and E85 to make those fuels less costly and more attractive to consumers. Gas stations along the New York State Thruway will soon be offering the biodiesel and E85 fuels, Pataki said.
