Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas was out filling up cars with fuel
early Monday morning at the grand opening of a new ethanol blender
pump station in Colwich that was held in conjunction with the
announcement of a new initiative in Kansas that will help fuel station
retailers obtain funding and the equipment needed to sell higher
blends of ethanol. The new initiative introduced by the Ethanol
Promotion and Information Council (EPIC), ICM and the Kansas Corn
Commission aims to install a minimum of 100 blender pumps around the
state over the next year.
Brownback also helped ICM president Dave Vander Griend cut the ribbon
for TJ Convenience store’s new blender pumps, which offer ethanol in
four different flavors - E10, E20, E30 and E85. The higher blends can
only legally be used in flex-fuel vehicles.
Back in Washington, the senator is working on legislation that would
increase the number of flex-fuel vehicles that can use those higher
blends with the Open Fuel Standard Act, which he introduced last month
along with Senators Salazar of Colorado and Lieberman of Connecticut.
The act would require half of new automobiles to be flex-fuel by 2012,
and 80 percent by 2015.
