Fuel stations, drivers raise $10,000 for Buffett Cancer Center
Summary
Higher blends of biofuels dilute the toxicity and help reduce cancer-causing aromatics released from tailpipe emissions. “We commend these retailers for making higher ethanol blends available and giving consumers a choice in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas pollution. Supporting ‘Fuel the Cure’ is a step beyond because the funds are directly impacting lives of patients at the Buffett Cancer Center.” Drivers who choose ethanol at the pump often see a price break, and their use of ethanol supports Nebraska’s rural communities and the entire Nebraska economy. “Fueling up with higher blends of ethanol, like E15, E30 and E85, is one of the easiest ways consumers can reduce their carbon footprint and create a healthier environment for everyone,” Sodeke said. The vehicle might also have a flex fuel badge on the trunk or tailgate — or a yellow gas cap.
