Drivingethanol.org Has New Design
The Ethanol Promotion & Research Council has a news website.
“Drivingethanol.org speaks to consumers in a fun, friendly voice while giving them the story of ethanol. It’s good for your car, better for the environment and made in America, too,” said Tom Slunecka, executive director for Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC). EPIC launched a consumer Web site, http://www.drivingethanol.org , where consumers can go to learn more about the renewable and environmental friendly fuel ethanol. “Consumers will be able to visit the site to find the important information that they need about ethanol, including how increasing our use of ethanol will help us create more energy independence, and how ethanol effects your car,” says Slunecka.
The site offers some unique content including:
– Ask The Expert — a special section where consumers can ask industry
experts questions about ethanol.
– Take Action — here consumers can order a free ethanol car magnet,
e-mail friends about the benefits of ethanol and contact their local
legislators.
– American-Made — facts about ethanol and the American economy.

We cannot buy ethanol in Salt Lake City must be that nobody cares about clean air………

Corn ethanol has a threshold, but our discovery produces 4.4 times the ethanol as other cropless sources. The infrastructure has been putting their eggs in many baskets until a viable fuel source could be found. Not only can we produce enough fuel, but since our process uses close to 100% of the cell tissue of trash organics to make ethanol out of its fermentable sugars, we are not governed by climate either – as in Salt Lake City.

Seems to me I Heard a report on National Public Radio that said congress put a 54 cent a gallon import tariff on ethanol. The same reporter stated that the law also required thaqt any ethanol used for engine fuel had to be made from corn. I think its time the congressmen that limit sources for biofuels be exposed for letting the lobbyists of Agricultural Conglomerates
limit any production of any kind.

Lyle,
There has been a tariff on ethanol imports since 1980. It is due to sunset at the end of 2009 and may not be renewed.
There is no law that I know of that requires corn to be the only feedstock for ethanol fuel. It just so happens at the moment it is the only practical feedstock to make it out of. But, new sources are being developed. In fact, the company supplying the ethanol for the American LeMans Series this year is making that fuel out of wood.

There seems to be a lot of interest in ethanol as a fuel additive, and I appreciate that is cleaner, and produced in the US. But doesn’t it also lower your mpg by 1-2 mpg, and gas doesn’t seem to cost any less per gallon. So aren’t we really paying a premium for fuel that is less efficient? Besides that the price of food products containing corn has increased dramatically.

I strongly support increasing the blend of ethanol in our
gasoline to 15 percent.

I just got my Honda 4 stroke outboard motor out of the shop for $117,00 It was the opinion of the shop owner that the problem was related to running gasoline with ethanol. I pumped it out and bought just plain old unleaded regular gasoline which I will use from now on.
