Why Use Ethanol?
Ethanol is higher in octane.
E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline) has an octane rating of 91.
E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) has an octane rating of 105.
Ethanol is better for the environment.
E85 reduces carbon dioxide greenhouse gases by 35%.
E85 reduces carbon monoxide by 30%.
E85 reduces fine particulate matter emissions by 50%.
Ethanol is biodegradable and does not pollute groundwater.
Ethanol is a renewable resource grown by American farmers.
A typical, 40-million gallon ethanol plant creates 32 full-time jobs and generates an additional $1.2 million in tax revenue for a community.
Ethanol reduces our dependence on foreign oil.
For every barrel of ethanol produced, 1.2 barrels of petroleum are displaced.
Ethanol is compatible and reliable.
All auto manufacturers approve the use of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol (E10).
There are about six million flexible fuel vehicles on America's highways that can run on up to 85% ethanol.
The Indy Racing League races E100 (pure ethanol).
Ethanol burns cleaner, and does not leave fuel deposits.
Ethanol is competitively priced.
E85 is currently priced at only $2.199 per gallon!*
E10 is currently priced at only $2.799 per gallon!*
*Price current as of October 17, 2007.
