President Obama has made fuel efficiency and alternative vehicles staples of his energy policy by establishing increasingly stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards and investing in alternative vehicle and fuel infrastructure.  It is recognized that efficiency and alternative fuel vehicles are key elements in extending fuel supplies and making better use of the resources America has at its disposal.

While much emphasis is being placed on electric vehicles, the Renewable Fuels Association points out that such vehicles certainly have a role to play in America’s vehicle mix, as do other alternative fuel vehicles running on natural gas, propane, and other fuels.   So, too, do flex fuel vehicles  capable of running on a wide range of ethanol blends – the most abundant, renewable, and domestic alternative to gasoline available today.

RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen says the President’s plan – is the kind of initiative needed to expand fueling options available to American consumers. According to Dinneen, – America’s vehicle fleet in the future will feature a wide range of technologies and must include an increased reliance on flex fuel engine technologies. RFA continues to push for the installation of 10-thousand blender pumps across the nation.
