Benefits of EVR Upgrade

Many gas station owners have been asking us what the new Phase II EVR upgrade will actually do. How will it help the environment?

According to evrhome.org, the EVR systems reduce gasoline vapor emissions. By reducing the emissions, this will save gasoline. California's total throughput is about 16 billion gallons of gasoline per year.

The Phase II EVR systems in California alone will:

• Reduce hydrocarbon emissions by 372 tons/day. Hydrocarbons, which make up the gasoline vapors, react with other air pollutants in the ozone's atmosphere.


• Save 120,000 gallons of gasoline each day


• Station owners and consumers save $360,000 each day

So the upgrade will save gas, money, and improve the atmosphere. This is something that is both valuable, and at our present time, needing to be preserved as best as possible.
