Bring E85 gas stations to St George Utah!

The Issue

As the production of electric cars and production of flex fuel vehicles increases the demand for flex fuel is scarce and sometimes impossible to find in South Utah. The use of ethanol fuel such as e85 should be more accessible. The lower fuel emission from e85 will help preserve this planet and the carbon footprint we leave for future generations. I want to bring more alternative fuels to St George Utah and the surrounding areas to help decrease emissions. I feel that this will benefit many generations to come and teach them that using alternative fuels will reduce emissions greatly and help preserve this beautiful State of Utah. The closest gas station that sells e85 is over 150miles in any direction!

Benefits of E85,

Quoted from AmericanMuscle.org

"E85 can be perfect for the high horsepower or high compression build, as long as it is readily available in your area. Because of E85s increased resistance to detonation, it allows for more power without the cost of expensive race fuels. Even at low power levels, E85 can also be a much safer fuel than normal pump gas. Much like methanol injection, the alcohol present in E85 is great for cooling down your incoming air/fuel charge. This is incredibly important when you are running a supercharged or turbocharged set up. When air is compressed with forced induction, it causes the air to heat up. The cooler the air charge, the denser it will be and therefore the more power you will be able to make. Aside from cooling the incoming air charge, E85 will reduce hotspots in the combustion chamber that can trigger preignition with regular gas."
