Presentation transcript:

 ◦Availability-Fewer than 1 percent of U.S. filling station have it.  ◦Quality-In a test, a Chevrolet Tahoe FFV got 27 percent fewer miles per gallon on E85 than on gasoline.  ◦Fuel vs. Food-Increased production has contributed to higher prices for related food products and food supplies might decrease  Expensive  Land erosion and disrupts habitats

 Good for the environment  Good for the economy  Renewable  Countries own independent energy source  Do not have to change existing machines or invent new ones
