Ethanol Kit
What impact does ethanol have on gasoline prices? Ethanol adds to the overall supply of motor fuel in the U.S. and helps keep pump prices competitive and affordable. The blender's tax credit is usually passed down to consumers in the form of more competitive prices at the pump. According to the Consumer Federation of America, consumers who purchase gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol could be saving as much as 8 cents per gallon compared to straight gasoline.

Auto outlook: News fuels and technology key to growth
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Overcoming the constraints of the high price of gasoline and making vehicles safer and less polluting pose the greatest challenges to the global auto industry, the chairman of Toyota North America Inc. said Tuesday. The industry must develop and expand alternative ways to power vehicles such as gas-electric hybrids and gas-ethanol flex-fuel options, Yukitoshi Funo said. It also must provide the means for motorists to avoid growing traffic congestion, especially those in crowded and developing countries such as China and India. "If we can solve those two problems, automotive growth can be limitless,'' Funo said through a translator during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the U.S. Midwest-Japan Association in Indianapolis. The panel, which also included senior executives of Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.
Converting To Ethanol
Gas prices are below $2.50 for the first time in months. While it may have you more willing to drive more, one of KELOLAND's biggest flex-fuel vehicle supporters worries it will also make people less willing to make the switch to E-85. One Mt. Vernon man who installs e85 conversion kits is now fighting for government certification, to get more people using ethanol. "This car we could do in about 15 minutes." After a little more than 15 minutes under the hood of his '97 Dodge Caravan, Brian Dodd is driving on e85 fuel. In his shop near Mt. Vernon, Dodd installs kits that convert nearly any regular vehicle with a fuel injector into a flex-fuel vehicle. It's an attractive idea for anyone who wants to pay the lowest price at the pumps, which is usually the 85% ethanol blend.
