34 Tex. Admin. Code § 20.439 - Alternative Fuel Usage
Pursuant to Government Code, § 2171.103, the comptroller shall take all steps necessary to encourage the use of alternative fuels.
(1) Each state vehicle equipped
from the manufacturer or modified by a conversion facility to be capable of
operating on an alternative fuel shall operate exclusively on the alternative
fuel except in cases:
(A) where and when the
alternative fuel is not available;
(B) the range of the alternative fuel is
insufficient to complete a round trip, in which case the alternative fuel shall
be used until exhausted, with conventional gasoline or diesel fuel used only as
a last resort to complete the trip when the alternative fuel is
unavailable;
(C) when the
alternative fuel costs more than conventional gasoline or diesel;
(D) when the conversion equipment is not in
working order or is deemed unsafe to operate, in which case timely repairs or
inspections shall be made so that the vehicle may continue to operate on the
alternative fuel; or
(E) when
operating exclusively on an alternative fuel is contrary to the vehicle
manufacturer's or alternative fuel conversion equipment vendor's
recommendations.
(2)
Each state agency will be required to provide fuel usage data semi-annually in
accordance with §
20.435(b)(2) of
