Don't Let FFVs Disappear

Take Action to Save Flex Fuel Vehicles

 

As your federal lawmakers are back in their home states for the August recess work period, now is the time to reach out to them and urge them to help protect and expand the availability of flex fuel vehicles that run on the E85 fuel blend. 

 

For the model year 2023, the only FFVs available to consumers are select Ford Explorer, F-150 and Transit models. As recently as the model year 2015, more than 80 different FFV models from nine manufacturers were available to consumers.

In the Senate, the Flex Fuel Fairness Act (S.2635) encourages automakers to produce more flex fuel vehicles (FFVs) capable of operating on low-carbon ethanol flex fuels like E85. The bill, introduced by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Pete Ricketts (R-NE), would help to level the playing field for FFVs by properly recognizing the emissions benefits associated with using E85 flex fuels, which contain 51-83 percent ethanol.

 

Please encourage your senators to support and add their names to this important piece of legislation. We expect the introduction of a companion House bill this fall and urge you to ask your representatives in the House to support that effort.
