E85 Education
Many people, in the effort of saving money, are actually choosing to fill up their cars with E85 ethanol. Why not right? E85 is cheaper than normal gasoline. But is E85 good for our environment?
Unfortunately E85 isn’t very good for Mother Earth at all. It doesn’t burn cleanly, and produces toxins when burned. Also, E85 is made from corn. It seems to be unethical to destroy perfectly good food to produce cheap fuel when in fact many people don’t even have enough to eat! Thirdly, E85 just looks cheaper but actually, it contains a good percentage of less energy compared to gasoline, so you actually get less mileage!
It is important to consider all the aspects of something before using it. Sometimes, things are cheaper for a reason. Hopefully, this article will make you stop and think before sing E85!
