ATLANTA - Low-sulfur gasoline goes on sale in a 45-county area Tuesday in a pollution-cutting move that will cost motorists about one dollar every time they fill up. <br>
<br>
Banks, Madison and Lumpkin counties were among those who started selling the fuel Tuesday.<br>
<br>
All grades of gasoline sold under a new state rule will produce fewer nitrogen oxides, a main ingredient in smog. <br>
<br>
The fuel requirement is part of Georgia's effort to fight metro Atlanta's air pollution. <br>
<br>
Georgia began selling low-sulfur fuel in 1999 in 25 counties during the ozone season, which runs from June through September. That list was expanded to 45 counties in June. <br>
<br>
State Environmental Protection Division spokesman Kevin Chambers said Tuesday that the gasoline now being sold is the lowest sulfur content fuel available in Georgia.
