We are proud of our oxygenated fuel program in Minnesota. So far, we use more than we produce. Iowa, on the other hand, produces more than 400 million gallons of ethanol each year and uses only about 10 percent of that amount in their gasoline. Less than 50 percent of Iowa's gasoline contains ethanol. This isn't because Iowans reject ethanol.
People buy what's in the pump.
We just want fuel for our cars so we can get to work, to church or to the kids' basketball game. I can tell you that cars, outboard motors and snowmobiles are all running great in Minnesota. They're running on ethanol blends and we're all breathing easier because of it.
