Demand drives return of E85 to Des Moines area

DesMoinesRegister.com:by William Ryberg -- 10/28/05
"Government incentives will help prime the pump. The federal energy bill will require motorists to double the use of ethanol nationally, and the Iowa Legislature approved using money from the Iowa Values Fund to pay up to half the cost of switching retailers' pumps to E85 or putting in new pumps and storage tanks.

General Motors, Ford and other automakers are introducing more flexible-fuel vehicles that can use E85.

Supporters say E85 helps Iowa's economy. More E85 consumption will boost the state's already-booming ethanol industry and increase prices paid for corn."
