Flex-fuel vehicles, commonly called FFVs, are cars engineered to run on any ethanol/gasoline blend. FFVs allow the drivers, when available, to choose their fuel blend such as E20, E30, E50 up to E85. Drivers choose higher blends for a number of different reasons: price, cleaner burning fuel, and to support American jobs and American-made products.

Ethanol helps keep your engine clean by reducing fuel injection system build up. Ethanol helps prevent gas line freeze in the winter. Ethanol burns cleaner, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 50%. American Ethanol sup- ports over 386,500 jobs across the economy, jobs that cannot be outsourced. American Ethanol increases our country’s energy independence and strengthens our economic and national security by keeping American dollars at home rather than sending them to oil-rich countries in the Middle East and elsewhere around the globe.
