Biofuels

Biodiesel Vehicles

• Biodiesel is produced from new and used vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled restaurant grease.
• Significantly reduced life cycle carbon emissions.
• Can range in concentration from B2 (2% biodiesel, 98% diesel) to B100.
• B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% diesel fuel) is the most common blend.
• All major OEMs support the use of at least B5 under their warranties.
• Biodiesel is available in all 50 states.
• Examples: Ram 2500 HD, GMC Sierra 2500.

Ethanol Flex-Fuel Vehicles (FFV)

• Run on gasoline and any blend of gasoline and ethanol up to E85 (or flex fuel).
• E85 is a blend of gasoline and 51% - 83% ethanol.
• One fueling system that can accommodate the variance in fuel.
• Very similar to gasoline vehicles.
• Can have a lower fuel economy than a conventional vehicle.
• Examples: Chevrolet Impala, Audi A4 Quattro.
