More flex-fuel vehicles, which can take up to 85% ethanol blended with petrol, would be particularly sensible.
Until recently, the industry had zealously protected two federal government perks: a 45-cent federal tax credit for every gallon of ethanol blended into gasoline, and a tariff of 54 cents a gallon aimed at Brazilian sugar cane-based ethanol.
For example, each gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline by a petroleum distributor or retailer results in a $0.51 income tax credit from the tax owed to the federal government.
Any defense of the ethanol policy rests on fallacies, primarily these: that ethanol produced from corn makes the United States less dependent on fossil fuels; that ethanol lowers the price of gasoline; that an increase in the percentage of ethanol blended into gasoline increases the overall supply of gasoline; and that ethanol is environmentally friendly and lowers global carbon dioxide emissions.
He noted that American demand for gasoline appeared to have peaked in 2007 and could decline by 15 to 20 percent by 2020 because of increasingly efficient cars and a federal mandate requiring that renewable fuels, like ethanol, blended into transportation fuels must increase to 36 billion gallons in 2022, from nine billion gallons in 2008.
The newly developed method can also determine H/C and O/C ratio of ethanol blended fuel in a given sample without any additional experimentation.
