| Suddenly there is a lot of talk going on about | | | | trucks. |
| alternative fuels.One can be assured that ethanol and | | | | FFvs have only one fueling system contrary to the |
| gasoline blends of upto 10% ethanol can be used to | | | | bi-fuel natural gas as well as propane vehicles that |
| run some vehicles . So there need not be any | | | | have two exclusive fueling systems.A vehicle has to |
| worries about how this combination can be used for | | | | be able to use fuel blends upto 85% ethanol to be |
| vehicles. There are some states which need the | | | | eligible to be certified as an alternative fuel vehicle |
| monthly or all- year use of ethanol upto 10% as a | | | | (AFV)for tax credits , incentives to meet |
| type of oxygenate additive to tone down the | | | | requirements for authorized fleets(federal, state, and |
| formation of the ozone layer. | | | | fuel provider fleets) under the Energy Policy Act of |
| Remember,low percentage oxygenate will blend, like | | | | 1992(EPAct). |
| ethanol fuel is not traditionally what is alternative fuels | | | | In places like the Midwest where corn is grown in |
| in vehicles.Ethanol vehicles are vehicles which are | | | | abundance, alarge number of people use ethanol as a |
| made specially to run on upto 15% gasoline | | | | type of fuel for their vehicles.E85 is so popular |
| (E85),85% denatured ethanol or any combination of | | | | amongst vehicle user in the Midwest that one finds |
| the two in which Ethanol limit is upto 85%.In colder | | | | long ques in the pump which sells E85. |
| climates E85 can be adjusted in such a way that the | | | | But for us who use gasoline run vehicles it pinches |
| actual ratio of E 85 is less than 85%Ethanol. Vehicles | | | | our pocket when we have to pay a premium on the |
| which use E85 are also known as FFVs or flexible fuel | | | | cheap gasoline.Anyway, with the new tendency of |

| Right now there are many kinds of ethanol fuels | | | | ethanol can be made lower than gasoline as supply |

| fuel will suit which vehicle. Light - duty FFvs comprise | | | | higher than it's demand. Shortly ,this could be turned |
| of a large collection of vehicles which may range | | | | upside down and the price of all kinds of ethanol fuel |
| from compacts to sport utility vehicles to pick up | | | | could be lowered to run our vehicles. |
