Groundbreaking Study Finds that Certain Ethanol Blends can Provide Better Fuel Economy than Gasoline


Researchers from the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) and the Minnesota Center for Automotive Research (MnCAR) conducted the testing on four automobiles using the Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET), a test developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to determine fuel economy...click here to learn more about the study's results and the surprising fuel economy gained by certain blends of ethanol-to-gasoline (E20 & E30 blends being the best fuel economy mix)!

Ethanol Blender Pumps - with the results of the Optimal Ethanol blend-level investigation pointing to higher mileage results for non-flex-fuel (and flex-fuel) vehicles, there will be a push hopefully in the near future to have more service stations upgraded to include ethanol blender pumps. Ethanol blender pumps are already showing up in towns around the U.S. Britton, South Dakota has a service station with an ethanol blender pump that dispenses mid-range ethanol blends - from E-10 to E-85, including E-20, E-30 and E-40 blends.

During the test noted above, it was found that the non-flex-fuel vehicles (97% of the millions of U.S. vehicles on the road today) had no engine faults or other problems until the higher blends were reached. E-40 appears to be the peak of optimum fuel efficiency. For more details on the report be sure to click on the links above...

Ethanol blender pumps allow station owners to install the blender pumps along with an ethanol E-85 tank and their normal gasoline tank, and via the blender pump provide their customers with the desired blend of E-10, E-20, E-30, E-40, and the already popular E-85 blend (for use in flex-fuel vehicles). Congress needs to help with the effort by passing legislation that removes the E-10 barrier and opening up the ethanol choices to consumers for use in their vehicles they own, TODAY!

Ethanol Fact Book

(2007 version; opens as a .pdf)

The Ethanol Fact Book is available on Ethanol.org and it is distributed through the Ethanol Across America campaign...

...As note in the October issue of EthanolToday, "the Ethanol Fact Book addresses issues regarding the ethanol tax incentive, energy security and oil import reductions, economic impacts and benefits to the U.S. Treasury, greenhouse gas reduction and environmental benefits, and advancements in cellulose conversion technologies." The article went on to quote Doug Durante, Executive Director of the Clean Fuels Development Coalition (CFDC), "Ethanol is a complex and multi-faceted issue that needs to be viewed in its entirety. Its value is truly the sum of its parts, and this fact book clearly defines the energy security, economic, environmental, and national benefits derived from our ethanol industry."

...use this Google search to find news on reducing gasoline usage by the U.S. by 2017 - and in particular where ethanol, renewable fuel, and alternative fuel figure into the President Bush's 2007 alternative fuel Initiatives.

In addition, keep tabs on the new Alternative Fuel Standard (AFS) which increases the scope of the current Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) - another major part of the President's plan for the growth of renewable and alternative fuel sources. Good luck with your search, we hope you visit us again.

Of interest is that the Alternative Fuel Standard (AFS) will include sources such as corn ethanol, cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, methanol, butanol, hydrogen, and alternative fuels.
