A thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition: 51-90 wt % of a polyester, 10-49 wt % of an ABS impact modifier; 0 to 20 wt % of a multifunctional epoxy compound; 0-40 wt % of a filler; 0-2 wt % of a fibrillated fluoropolymer; and from more than 0 to 5 wt % of a stabilizer composition. An article blow molded or injection molded from the composition has a multi-axial impact total energy from 40-100 Joules at −30° C.; a ductility of more than 90%, a permeability of more than 0 to less than or equal to 1.5 g/m2-day, measured after exposure Fuel C vapor for 20 weeks at 40° C.; an MVR of 1-20 cc/10 min; a flexural modulus of greater than 1300 MPa; and retains at least 75% of its initial tensile elongation at break after exposure to Fuel E85 for 28 days at 70° C.
