Tom Slunecka Quotations

This is important for American consumers who now have a viable alternative fuel that is good for the environment and performs well in their cars. It's also important for American agriculture, because ethanol is a renewable resource made from U.S. crops.

This program was far more than just an advertising campaign. It was an integral part of the thought process within that town about how to maximize their economics from a regional basis, as well as how to help their air quality there within their city.

GM's promotion of E-85 fuel is helping to build the infrastructure needed for the ethanol industry to continue growing and replacing millions of barrels of non-renewable oil. The ethanol industry is committed to meeting the demands of millions of American consumers who want to choose cleaner-burning ethanol.

I think we owe it to him to prove his legacy true. We owe it to him to march on in behalf of him, in behalf of the fervor he had for both ethanol and racing. Ethanol was far more than a sponsor to Paul.

Ethanol is in very high demand across the country. When demand is high, supplies run tight and prices generally rise and currently E85 in most areas is priced above where we would like to see it especially in time of adoption.

Ethanol-enriched fuel is environmentally friendly, renewable and is currently available at thousands of gas stations across the country. Ethanol is American-made and is crucial in helping reduce our dependence on oil.

Many consumers do not realize that E-10, a commonly available blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, can run in all automobiles currently sold in the United States. In fact, all major auto manufacturers that sell cars in the United States have approved ethanol- enriched fuels. Many even explicitly recommend using ethanol for its clean- burning benefits.

Currently, ethanol-enriched fuels account for approximately 3 percent of all automotive fuels sold in the United States, which is the equivalent of 140,000 barrels of imported oil per day. With increased consumer awareness and support for ethanol, we can move the needle and further reduce the amount of oil we currently import from other countries.
