Ethanol has long been important in the Heartland.
But you may not know that an advanced-hybrid of
ethanol - called E-85 - is gaining in popularity and
is increasingly available throughout the state. Gov.
Rod Blagojevich is leading by example in Illinois
and recently unveiled new efforts to promote E-85
and increase access for consumers.
E-85 is a new blend of motor fuel comprised of 85
percent ethanol and only 15 percent gasoline.
Besides its superior performance, E-85 burns cleaner
than regular gasoline, it is completely renewable
and environmentally-friendly. Because E-85 is pro¬
duced locally, it expands our state economy and
increases our nation's energy independence.
Gov. Blagojevich believes that E-85 could revolu¬
tionize the automotive and oil industries as we
know them. E-85 runs most effectively in Flexible
Fuel Vehicles or FFVs, as special adjustments are
needed for engines to operate correctly. Already,
consumers are asking automotive dealers for addi¬
tional models of FFVs, and their availability will
increase as awareness and demand for E-85 grows.
When you consider purchasing a new car or truck,
ask about a Flexible Fuel Vehicle that will support
Illinois agriculture and ourthriving ethanol industry.
For more information on E-85, Flexible Fuel Vehicles,
or to find out if your vehicle can use E-85, visit

right to find an E-85 station near you.
