What We Need to Move Forward More Fuels § 170, 000 U. S. gas stations, only 1, 200 carry E 85 § Progress is being made § You can drive from Chicago to Kansas City and back — 1700 miles — fueled solely by E 85 7
Clean Diesel Lower Sulfur Content & High Mileage • Compared to their gasoline counterparts, the new generation of clean diesel vehicles offer much greater fuel economy while delivering better performance. Around the world, consumers are favoring advanced diesel technology. • Clean diesels power 40 percent of Europe’s new light duty motor vehicles. • Today’s clean diesel vehicles run more cleanly, thanks to new highpressure fuel injection, combustion and exhaust after-treatment technologies. • A key factor in determining the success of these aftertreatment technologies was EPA’s 2001 decision to require dramatic sulfur reductions in diesel fuel. • On average, clean diesel vehicles achieve 20 -40 percent better fuel economy than their gasoline-powered counterparts. 8

Ethanol (E-85) Homegrown & Renewable § Ethanol derived from corn, sugar cane – cellulosic on the way § E-85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline § All vehicles on the road today can use a blend of up to 10% ethanol with gasoline without voiding warranties. § Of the 170, 000 gas stations in America, about 1, 200 sell E-85 § Ethanol is renewable but contains less energy than gasoline § Because ethanol is more corrosive than gasoline, automakers need to use special materials for the gas line, gas tank, pumps, and injectors. 10

Hybrid Engines Advanced Batteries & Higher Mileage • Hybrid-electric vehicles refer to powertrains that use a batterypowered electric motor, a gasoline internal combustion engine, and a concept known as regenerative braking to power the vehicle • Regenerative braking systems, which recover energy that is otherwise wasted, allow hybrids to be especially fuel-efficient in stop-and-go city driving • Utilizing these hybrid technologies, fuel economy can be improved by up to 25 percent over conventional automobiles • At the moment, hybrids are more expensive than traditional gasoline engines • Automakers working hard to continue battery development and advancements 12
