The reason flex fuels are becoming so popular is that they are friendlier to the environment than pure gasoline because they admit far less pollution. Also the more the United States uses E85, the less we will be dependent on foreign oil, which is attractive to many people. Finally, E85 is far less expensive to make than gasoline, it is made from renewable sources, such as corn or hay and other grasses, although corn is the most popular source at this time. The E85 is produced in the United States it creates jobs and an inflex of money that will stay in the United States insted of being shipped to other countries like it has been for years making other countries richer everyday, while the U.S. is stuck in a depression. We need to support our economy and support our Country, by using flex fuel it's a winning situation for us as a nation.
Using these alternative fuels in vehicles can reduce harmful pollutants and exhaust emissions. Most of these fuels can be domestically produced and derived from renewable sources.
*Every gallon of oil (gasoline) you burn produces about 20 lbs of CO2.
*The average American car produces 5 tons of CO2/yr. At approximately 2kg/m3 one ton of pure CO2 occupies a volume measuring 25 ft on a side or 4 inches deep of a football field. Five tons of CO2 fills a football field approximately 20 inches deep of CO2. A Hummer’s yearly missions would waist deep on a football field.
Total annual CO2 emissions of personal vehicles alone will fill a land area the size of Nevada or Colorado (105,000 sq miles) to 7 ft deep in CO2 emissions; Florida to 12 feet deep, Maryland to the height of a 5 floor building, Connecticut to the depth of a 12 floor building.
You will suffocate if you breathe only CO2 and the more CO2 in the atmosphere the hotter the planet gets and the more unpredictable the weather becomes.
Good news is by using flex fuel E85 we can cut those figures by up to 85%.
