Ethanol is a grain alcohol that’s been used in blended gasoline for decades. This renewable resource, produced by American workers, helps reduce carbon emissions and break our country’s dependence on foreign oil. So why haven’t you heard much about ethanol until now? Because in the past few years, car manufacturers have developed engines that accept higher percentages of ethanol than ever before. In the future, we can look forward to cheaper and greener cars that rely totally on ethanol. For now, every major automaker approves the use of ethanol “flex” fuels, which are available everywhere. So do you part for the environment, even as you gas up.
