Petroleum based fuels are limited and non-renewable. Research is revealing new renewable energy sources such as ethanol and biodiesel, both made from plant and animal sources.

Many people wonder about the ethanol/gas mixture known as E85, named for the 85 per cent ethanol that mixture contains, and whether or not their vehicles will run on it.

If you watched the Olympics, you probably noticed that General Motors launched a major advertising campaign, touting the fact that 1.5 million GM vehicles are able to run on E85, made from corn. If you're new to the alternative fuel concept, perhaps you were left wondering exactly what E85 is.

Did you ever hear, 'Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it?' The same seems to be true about fuel economy in this time of skyrocketing fuel prices. I used to be an over-the-road, long haul truck driver. For a while, I even owned and drove my own truck. As an owner-operator, I became interested in fuel economy, and very aware of how personal choices can affect fuel economy and fuel costs.

Are you up to speed on alternative fuels? It may sound corny, but some day we may not need to depend on petroleum based fuels. Okay, that was a bad joke, but corn may be what forms our fuel future.

As people become more aware of the damage that has been done to our planet and to the environment, questions have risen about what to do now to prevent further damage. E85 ethanol is the name that a fuel consisting of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline is called by in the United States.

With gasoline prices rising higher and higher, with no relief in sight, consumers are becoming more aware of and more interested in alternative fuel sources. One of those viable fuel sources is E85 ethanol. These days, there is quite a bit of talk about this fuel, and why shouldn't there be? After all, it costs close to thirty five percent less than gasoline and is quickly becoming a preferred choice for motorists at the pump stations.

FFV: flexible fuel vehicle. Are you interested in reducing your fuel costs, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and stopping our dependency on foreign oil? If so, ethanol may be the way to go. E85 is the "new" fuel source giving drivers an alternative to overpriced hybrids and clanky diesels.
