E85 and the Environment
E85 has the highest oxygen content of any transportation fuel available today,
making it burn cleaner than gasoline. Fewer exhaust emissions result in reduced
production of smog and a decline in respiratory illness associated with poor
air quality. E85 also reduces greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide,
the main contributor to global warming, as much as 39 to 46 percent compared
to gasoline.
Since E85's main ingredient is ethanol, which is
non-toxic, water soluble and biodegradable, E85 is simply a better fuel
for the world around us.
