This is a short but good article basically a question and answer segment. It finial gave me a decent answer about fuel economy. But it is too short to pull much information from.

this is an article about the unfulfilled promises of bring more e85 gasoline to Florida. It was promised to bring ethanol to many people but they have seemed to fail to meet it by the date they promised. Make you wonder if it is possible to produce this fuel or if it is even possible to transport what was the reason they could not fulfill their promises. Could be a major setback.

Interesting a fuel that has been called a cleaner burning fuel is not cleaner in all respects. It is said that if we converted to this fuel we would have more asthma and create more ozone related mortality. This brings the question is it still worth it. The article still says it does remove some pollutants but how important are those pollutants.

This article goes somewhat in depth about price and why ethanol is somewhat cheaper. It turns out there is a tax break of about 50 cents a gallon. Didn’t know there was such a following from the car companies. This will help compare its worth I get to see how much it was compared to gas and the fuel economy difference.

This is definitely a topic that alot of people won't know a thing about. Depending on what your audience is you might have to break it down Barney style.
