How much does the MicroFueler cost and when may I realize a return on my investment?
Suggested list price is $9,995 as offered on E-Fuel’s web site. US customers may be eligible for a federal tax rebate which will reduce the actual cost to $6,998 once the rebate is received. (See IRS form 8911, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit.) Consumers may expect a return on their investment in approximately 1.5 years based upon the following assumptions as of April 2008: (1) Cost per gallon of gasoline = $3.50 (2) Cost per gallon of ethanol100 (E100) produced by the MicroFueler = $1.25 (cost may be further offset through the use of E-Fuel carbon credits). (3) Average vehicle MPG = 13 miles per gallon, assuming 2 vehicles in the household, and an average of 12,500 miles driven annually per vehicle. (4) MicroFueler cost of $6,998 (after Federal rebate). Given the above assumptions, the vehicles would require 1,922 gallons of fuel to drive 25,000 miles at 13 MPG. Accordingly, gasoline will cost $6,727 whereas E100 produced by the MicroFueler will cost $2,402 resultin
