Ethanol Terms Cause Confusion

"The CEO of Ford was most likely talking about flexible-fuel vehicles and E-85, a mixture of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Ron Lamberty, market development director for the American Coalition for Ethanol in Sioux Falls, said from now on, the ethanol industry will probably have to speak more precisely about their product and encourage others, such as Ford, to do the same.

�Ethanol is a term that gets thrown around a lot, and it can become confusing on what you�re actually talking about,� Lamberty said. �I think as an industry, we�re pretty good about using the correct terms. We often use E-10 or E-85 when we talk about fuels.�"
