### Ethanol is better for the environment, the economy, and our national security - but most of us are only using about a gallon of it every time we fill up. How can we help our country and our planet by using more? With a flex fuel vehicle, you can use as much as you like - up to 85 percent of your fuel.

Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV s ) FFVs are automobiles that can run on any gas-ethanol blend up to 85 percent ethanol (or E85). Most automakers have FFV models, and millions of them are on the road right now. You may already have one and not know it – check your owner’s manual.

H ow does Flex Fuel technology work? FFVs sense the ratio of gas to ethanol that you fill up with, and adjust automatically. There is no noticeable difference for the driver whether the fuel tank contains E85 or regular unleaded gas.

D o FFV s cost more? The extra cost of building an FFV as opposed to a regular car is only about $100 for the automaker, and the price difference for consumers is negligible. Ethanol is generally cheaper than gasoline and improves engine performance and lifespan, saving consumers money at the pump and over the life of the car.

**Flex fuel engines are the same as regular engines, with one addition: they sense how much ethanol is in your fuel**  **tank, and adjust accordingly. You can fill up with E**  **10 or E**  **85 and get the same performance.**

### H igher Blends f or Americ a Ethanol employs hundreds of thousands of Americans – and with every billion gallons made, another 10,000 to 20,000 jobs are created. The industry also contributes billions in tax revenue and currently saves us from having to buy 661,000 barrels of foreign oil every day. Using higher blends will only increase the positive impact ethanol is already making for our country.

W here c a n I f ill up a n FFV? You can fill up an FFV at any gas station, since they run on unleaded gasoline as well as E85, and any blend in between. E85 and other higher blends like E20 and E30 are available at thousands of pumps across the country. If your favorite station doesn’t have a flex pump, suggest it to them – every customer makes a difference. 

### Fueling with **E thanol**  **Fueling with E**  **thanol**

H ow it W orks Flex pumps access both gasoline and ethanol reserves and blend them together at the percentage you want. If you have a flex fuel vehicle, select from E20, E30, E40 or E85 – mix and match as you like. Depending on many factors, you may see an improvement in fuel mileage.

**For manufacturers, building a flex fuel model only costs about $100 extra. For consumers, the price is often the**  **same as a standard model. T**  **he highest blend of ethanol available at the pump is E**  **85 – 85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline.** 

### H igher Blends f or the E n v ironment Ethanol is renewable, sustainable fuel. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 59 percent compared to gasoline from “well to wheel.” Using higher blends will reduce harmful pollution even more. **E thanol is the lowest-emission fuel that works in the**  **cars we already have.**

**Flex fuel cars can run on any gasoline-ethanol blend up to**  **E 85.** 



### H igher Blends f or Y our Ca r Virtually all cars made after 1980 can use E10. Check your owner’s manual to see what the approved limit for your car is. By choosing to fill up with ethanol, you are choosing a greener, cleaner energy source – one that’s made here in America. Make and Model Engine Model Years
