Developments aimed at reducing vehicle emissions, increasing vehicle efficiency or reducing the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles may decrease the demand and may increase the cost for our liquid transportation fuels. EPA Government mandates or incentives, industry and NHTSA have promulgated separate rules setting technological developments and consumer sentiment with respect to liquid transportation fuels may alter fuels or energy preferences or make alternative fuel vehicles more stringent requirements for vehicles. NHTSA’s current CAFE standards increase in stringency from model year 2023 levels by eight percent annually for model years 2024-2025 desirable and ten percent annually for model year 2026. EPA’s model year 2023-2026 CO2 emission standards result in average fuel economy greater market penetration of 40 mpg in model year 2026. In addition, such vehicles or otherwise decrease demand for our liquid transportation fuels. For example, the federal government through NHTSA and the EPA finalized new promulgate rules setting even more stringent requirements for model years 2027-2032. NHTSA’s standards would that require an vehicle manufacturers to increase in the fuel efficiency standards of two percent annually. EPA’s liquid transportation fuels vehicles. The EPA has finalized a rule that reduces its current vehicle standards would require a significant increase by eliminating regulation of GHG emissions. The new, reduced standards have been challenged in electric vehicle production to meet the standards. court.

In order to comply with certain regulations, specifically the RFS2 RFS requirements implemented by the EPA and the cap-and-trade emission reduction program and low carbon fuel standard implemented by state programs, we are required to reduce our emissions, blend certain levels of biofuels or obtain allowances or credits to offset the obligations created by our operations. In regard to each program, we record an asset, included in other current assets or other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets, for allowances or credits owned in excess of our anticipated current period compliance requirements. The asset value is based on the product of the excess allowances or credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, and the weighted average cost of those allowances or credits. We record a liability, included in other current liabilities or deferred credits and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, when we are deficient allowances or credits based on the product of the deficient amount as of the balance sheet date, if any, and either the fixed contract price or the market price of the allowances or credits at the balance sheet date. The cost of allowances or credits used for compliance is reflected in cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of income. Any gains or losses on the sale or expiration of allowances or credits are classified as other income on the consolidated statements of income. Proceeds from the sale of allowances or credits are reported in investing activities - all other, net on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
