5/22/07-A bill has died that was intended to make sure consumers get what they pay for at the fuel pump.
Sponsored by Rep. Kate Meiners, D-Kansas City, HB105 remained in the House Transportation Committee when the session ended, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill would have required a gallon of diesel or gasoline to have its volume adjusted for changes in temperature.
Not accounting for the temperature change leads to what is commonly referred to as "hot fuel." The change in temperature is an issue because when fuel gets hot and expands the amount of energy it produces drops significantly.
The bill would have divided the state into 10 districts. The Missouri Department of Agriculture would have been required to tailor a temperature-adjusted gallon for each district based on the area's average temperature.
