At certain gas stations across Sacramento, the capital city of the US state of California, E-85, a gasoline blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, is priced significantly lower than normal gasoline currently because the price of corn is trading below the price of petroleum.
In the mid-2000s, Chevy and Ford created many cars that were known as flex fuel vehicles. A Ford F-150 or a Chevy Tahoe, for example, are E-85-compatible vehicles.
Ethanol gasoline burns hotter which can impact fuel mileage and it is not recommended that non-compatible cars.
Right now, E-85 at its current affordability has the chance to get people moving toward a more sustainable future.
