      Over 70 percent of gasoline pumped in America contains
      ethanol. This means your car is probably already using ethanol,
      and you may not even have noticed. Virtually all cars made
      after 1980 could run on higher blends such as E15. Your car
      may run on even higher blends – check your owner’s manual
      or ask your mechanic. Many automakers now have flex fuel
      vehicles (FFVs) available in America, which are designed to
      run on any blend up to E85.
      Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that reduces
      emissions and helps keep your engine clean. It’s the only
      practical, renewable fuel available right now, for the car you
      already have.
