Ethanol-Blended Gasoline Opus

Ethanol-Blended Gasoline A Proven Smog Fighter

As Canadians prepare to make their regular treks to cottage country and make plans for summer vacations the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA) is urging motorists to use ethanol-blended fuels when filling up their vehicle.

Air quality issues will soon be on the front pages of many newspapers as smog season approaches and ethanol-blended gasoline can help reduce harmful tailpipe emissions according to the CRFA.

"This is no longer an urban problem," said Mr. Baker. Many rural parts of the country are now experiencing poor air quality. The good news is there is something we can do about it," concluded Mr. Baker.

There are currently over 1,100 gas stations in Canada that sell ethanol-blended fuel, across the country from Alberta to Quebec. To find a station near you simply visit the Canadian Renewable Fuels website at www.greenfuels.org and search retail directory for a station near you.
