What are benefits of using E85?
E85 is clean. A typical FFV driver can prevent 4 tons of lifecycle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other harmful pollutants from entering our air every year by fueling with E85 instead of gasoline. Using E85 can reduce tailpipe emissions such as ozone-forming pollutants by about 20%. E85 will also reduce evaporative emissions of air toxics and ozone formers. E85 is renewable. Starch from corn is most commonly used to produce U.S. ethanol. Cellulose-to-ethanol technologies are under development and expected to be commercialized within 5 years. E85 is made here. Whatever the source, more can be “grown closer to home” today. In 2007, ~ 6 billion gallons of ethanol were produced from locally grown materials – providing jobs and support to local economies and a shorter, more secure supply line to your community. E85 is high performance. E85’s octane rating is 100+. Characteristics of this high-alcohol fuel make it ideal for boosting horsepower. E100 is used in Indy Racing. E85 burns cool
