Summary

Federal Gasohol Purchase Act - Directs each Federal agency and department to issue regulations which grant preferences in bulk and retail purchases of gasoline by such agency or department to suppliers or bidders who offer gasohol in lieu of ordinary gasoline provided the cost of such gasohol does not exceed 115 percent of the cost of ordinary gasoline. Establishes procedures for Federal agencies in implementing such fuel purchases. Defines the term "gasohol" to mean a motor fuel consisting of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent methanol or ethanol which is suitable for use by itself or in combination with other fuels as a motor fuel and which is not refined from petroleum and which does not use any petroleum fuel as a heat source for the process of manufacture.
