Ethanol Facts: E-10 Unleaded

E-10 Unleaded is a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% ordinary unleaded gasoline. This blend is the most common across the United States—and represents nearly 50% of the gasoline sold in Nebraska.

Every automaker in the world approves the use of E-10 Unleaded under warranty. In fact, some automakers even recommend the use of clean air, renewable fuels such as E-10 Unleaded for their positive environmental benefits.

E-10 Unleaded can also be used in small engines such a lawn mowers, all-terrain vehicles, motor boats, chain saws, lawn trimmers and other such equipment.

The Nebraska Ethanol Board, in cooperation with the Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Corn Growers Association, developed the “Let’s Get With It, Nebraska!” campaign to promote the use of E-10 Unleaded in the state. The campaign, which was launched by Governor Mike Johanns in fall 2000, has helped increase market share for E-10 Unleaded in Nebraska from 22% to nearly 50%.
