Ethanol
Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials. The use of ethanol is widespread—almost all gasoline in the U.S. contains ethanol in a low-level blend. Ethanol is also available as E85—a gasoline-ethanol blend containing 51% to 83% ethanol, depending on geography and season. E85 is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and can be used in flexible fuel vehicles.
