Ethanol (E10 & E85)
An alcohol based liquid fuel, Ethanol is used
as an oxygenate in 10 - 15% form and as a primary fuel in
its 85% mixture. It is renewable and made from corn, sugar
cane or carbohydrate feedstock. All vehicles are capable of
running on an ethanol blend below 15%. Vehicles capable of
operating on E85 can be purchased from the auto
manufacturers today. These vehicles are "flexible-fuel"
vehicles - meaning they can operate on E85 or gasoline or
any mixture of them both.
