  1. As long as it can pass fuel standards.

  2. Advantages of Ethanol:

    Is a renewable fuel that is made from corn or other domestic grains.

    Can be produced right here in the United States.  Reduces American dependence on foreign countries for fuel.

    Claims to burn cleaner than gasoline, reducing environmental pollution.

    Ethanol is safe for all engines - Planes, cars, trucks, lawn mowers, boats...WRONG!

    Even the iowacorn.org issues caution against using corn (ethanol) oxygenated fuels, their website states, "...Not all manufacturers mention oxygenated fuel either as approved or not approved..."

    The FAA banned ethanol and other alcohols for use in airplanes many years ago.

    Several marine corporations warn owners from use of any alcohol blend fuels (gasahol, ethanol, etc.).

    The Marine industry advises that using greater than 10% ethanol in your fuel will damage your engine.

    Ford and GM know ethanol is bad for cars, which explains why they're currently designing and selling a new FFV.

    What is E85?

    Ethanol – or E85 is a blend of 85 % ethanol and 15 % unleaded gasoline.  E85 is classified as an alternative fuel by the U.S. Department of Energy.

    E85 is the blend used in flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs).
