ethanol’s gotten a bit of a bad rap here in the states of late, largely due to the billions of dollars of federal subsidies that are paid to the oil companies each year to blend this renewable domestic fuel into our gasoline.

there’s been plenty of rumblings from washington to up the percentage of ethanol in unleaded gasoline from 10% up to 15%. this has many folks up in arms.

i recently to test flexfuel-capable 2011 buick regal turbo with conventional gasoline and e85. it got me thinking … rather than change the percentage of ethanol in everyone’s gas, why not do more to encourage the use of e85 ethanol?

corn-based ethanol is merely the first phase. it’s time for america to move to phase two, in force.

encourage auto companies to improve multi-fuel engines

bob has an idea and you can help. car companies are working on engines that use things like variable timing, compression ratios, etc., to get the same or similar mileage no matter what blends of gasoline and ethanol you use. tell the car companies that you don’t want to have to do differential euqations in your head to figure out if you are getting a good deal buying e85 fuel. tell the car companies that you want to use the most economical appropriate fuel to go as far as you can. tell the car companies that you want this; that you will buy this; that they should produce these engines now!
