E85 Gasilne Can Save Drivers at the Pump

"WATERLOO -Like most owners of a 2003 Ford Taurus, Chip Bieber didn't know his car could accept fuel that was made mostly from ethanol - or even that such fuel existed.
That changed last summer, when a filling station near where he works in Waterloo began promoting E-85, an alternative fuel that is 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Bieber began filling up with the alternative fuel then, when savings averaged about a dime a gallon.
One year and a huge run-up in oil prices later, E-85 is selling between $2.50 and $2.69 a gallon, a discount of 20 to 60 cents compared to regular unleaded gasoline; Bieber is smiling."
