Racers
at the Pump
Atlanta
motorists chatted with two
American Le Mans drivers
during an October 2, 2007
pump promotion. Peter
Dumbreck, who drives the
(#31) Ferrari F430 GT for
Petersen Motorsports/White
Lightning Racing, and Tom
Milner, driver of the (#18)
Bell Micro Porsche for
Rahal Letterman Racing,
discussed their highly
technical race cars and
encouraged motorists to
choose the
higher-performance, cleaner
air option at the pump.
During

gallons of ethanol-enriched
fuel into their tanks.

Recent
UL Safety Certification
Expected to Double E85
Fueling Locations
Expanding
the availability of E85 is
expected to increase the
demand for this renewable
fuel, now that Underwriters
Laboratories has issued
safety requirements for E85
fuel dispensing equipment.
This
announcement will make
access to E85 more
convenient because
companies that have been
waiting will finally be
able to offer E85 at their
fueling stations. Estimates
are that the current count
of 1,300 E85 fueling
stations could double in
the next year.

25
States Display the
"e"
The
state fuel pump branding
program is making its way
across the country. The
EPIC "e" pump
label is now approved in 25
states, including Illinois.
The
Illinois Corn Growers
Association recently
partnered with EPIC, the
American Lung Association
of Illinois and the
Illinois Petroleum
Marketers Association to
introduce a voluntary
statewide brand initiative
for ethanol-enriched fuel
including E10 and E85.
"Switching
to the new labels is
voluntary, but it allows
fuel retailers to
capitalize on growing
consumer awareness and the
national brand-building
activities being
spearheaded by EPIC,"
said the organization’s
Director of Operations,
Robert White.
"More
and more consumers are
seeking out
ethanol-enriched fuel, and
this branding program will
make it easier for
them," he added.
"The brand image will
be consistent from pump to
pump, from city to city
across Illinois, and –
eventually – across the
entire United States."
North
Dakota is the only state
making it mandatory that
fuel retailers use the
"e" pump label.
For the other 24 states,
displaying the label is
voluntary.
