Ethanol Facts
Decades ago, Henry Ford proposed that ethanol become the primary fuel
for automobile engines. However, it wasn’t until the early 1970s
that ethanol began to enter the U.S. fuel supply in quantity.
Typically, ethanol is blended with ordinary unleaded gasoline to create
a blend that provides increased octane, lower exhaust emissions and helps
keep fuel injectors clean. The two primary ethanol blends available are
E-10 Unleaded (10% ethanol/90% ordinary gasoline) and E85 (85% ethanol/15%
ordinary gasoline.)
The use of E-10 Unleaded is approved by every major automaker in the world.
And every year, more and more flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are on the
road—providing drivers with the opportunity to use any combination
of ordinary gasoline, E-10 Unleaded, or E85--over 75,000 in Nebraska alone!
