Ethanol Report on Scaling the Blend Wall
In this edition of “The Ethanol Report,” Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) Director of Market Development Robert White talks about what RFA is doing to help ethanol scale the rapidly approaching blend wall. He discusses the BYO Ethanol program to get blender pumps installed, encouraging EPA to grant a waiver to allow up to 15 percent ethanol in regular gasoline, and reaching out to consumers to increase consumption of ethanol blends. Robert also talks about how RFA is up for a couple of national awards this week from the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) for their 2009 marketing campaigns.
RFA won regional NAMA awards for their Sturgis Motorcycle Rally t-shirt design, the Flex-Fuel Challenge website, and the BYO Ethanol campaign ad. They will find out Wednesday at the Best of NAMA awards in Kansas City if any of them received national recognition.

E30
I have ran E30 in my 2003 Acura TL for years and currently have over 147,000 miles and still no problems. I also ran E30 in my 1997 Nissan Maxima without any problems. We should be looking at E20 for most vehicles and E40 for OBD1 vehicles. Energy independance from foreign oil.

I agree with the previous post. I’ve been using 30 to 50% blends in several vehicles. A 1992 Toyota 4×4 on 50% since 2001, 1995 Ford Aspire since 2002—30%, and 2000 Buick for over a year on 30%.
