Energy independence was forefront in the minds of Americans during the 1970s when gas prices soared and lines formed at every gas station. Consumers responded with energy saving practices and smaller cars...and then quickly forgot. We forgot that using less oil is only one part of the solution. Ultimately we need to be more energy independent.

Twenty years later, prices are again soaring and consumers are demanding answers. Well, this time E85 offers an alternative. E85 is a home-grown alternative fuel produced from crops and waste products. It is environmentally good for us -- think of it...turning waste into fuel! It is economically good for us -- stabilizing commodity prices and increasing U.S. jobs. It is good for our transportation needs -- with more than 750,000 flexible fuel vehicles on the market this year.
