Ethanol is domestically produced, clean burning, and is made from renewable resources such as corn and other grains, grasses, trees and agricultural residues.
Ethanol can also reduce carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.
E85 has a high octane rating of 110 compared to gasoline's 87. Automobiles equipped to run E85 experience enhanced engine performance due to the reduction in the build-up of deposits. Ethanol strengthens our national economy. The U.S. imports more than half of its oil. Today there are more than 54 ethanol producers in 19 states.
