Reducing oil dependency with flex fuel vehicles
Reducing the nation's dependence on foreign oil was a major aspect of President Bush’s State of the Union address. Car manufacturers are on their way to making that goal a reality - creating vehicles that can run on a
variety of energy sources.
General Motors plans to produce 400,000 flexible fuel engine vehicles this year. The vehicles are able to run on
gasoline that is made of 85 percent ethanol, normal gasoline or any combination thereof. Ethanol is a renewable
resource that can be made from crops like sugar cane, corn or potatoes. Bio-fuels like ethanol are also good for the
environment - reducing carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants.
There are currently about 600 service stations in the U.S. that offer 85 percent ethanol fuel - nearly twice as
many as two years ago. Many states and the federal government are rolling out incentives for more service stations
to make the fuel available.
