Benefits of Ethanol
Direct Fuel has invested in ethanol because of growing demand in the marketplace:
|
 |
Most gasoline in Dallas-Fort Worth is now enriched with up to 10 percent ethanol, helping fuel burn cleaner and at a cooler temperature |
|
|
Flex-fuel vehicles, which are becoming more popular, are designed to run on E85 fuel |
|
|
At 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, E85 is the cleanest-burning renewable fuel available for gasoline engines |
