Most people don't even proverb

 Most people don't even know that their vehicles are flex fuel. When people find out the price difference, ethanol could really grow in this area.

 With 1.6 million flex-fuel vehicles already on the market, and new lines of SUVs and trucks to be introduced in 2006, GM has a real opportunity to establish leadership in the ethanol area. Ford is not far behind, with its own aggressive ethanol programs. Ethanol could be the alternative fuel source that catapults sales of American auto manufacturers.

 [The company said it would offer 280,000 flex-fuel vehicles that run on gas or ethanol next year, including, for the first time, a version of its Ford F-150 pickup truck.] With fewer than 400 ethanol stations in the entire country, it will be important for them to follow through on plans to promote ethanol sales, ... Otherwise, their increased flexible-fuel vehicle sales will actually exacerbate our oil dependence.

 Ford has the right blend of expertise necessary to lead this research. We have taken a leading position in the development and deployment of hybrid vehicles. We also have put more than 1.5 million flex-fuel vehicles on America?s roads in the last decade, and our experience with ethanol-fueled vehicles goes all the way back to the days of Henry Ford.

 Every single automobile on the road today is ethanol-capable. All vehicles can operate on a 10 percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, and Flexible Fuel Vehicles can use E85, an alternative fuel containing 85 percent ethanol. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. Every single automobile on the road today is ethanol-capable. All vehicles can operate on a 10 percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, and Flexible Fuel Vehicles can use E85, an alternative fuel containing 85 percent ethanol.

 Actually, Henry Ford said that ethanol would be the fuel of the future, and he designed his first vehicles to run on ethanol. Obviously that didn't happen, but ethanol has been around for a long time.

 Today's announcement by General Motors and its partners demonstrates their commitment to the environment while providing the people of Texas with a clean and reliable fuel that will help meet our state's growing energy needs. Additionally, we are proud that many flex-fuel vehicles are manufactured here in Texas by GM.

 In addition, we are working with fuel providers to expand the infrastructure needed to provide ethanol. And we're going to actively engage customers so they will understand that they have (flex-fuel vehicle) options.

 I think the relationship between ethanol and gasoline should restore to normal, whatever normal is, in the future. But as product gets short in whatever area of the country, people look for other kinds of fuels to replace it Š The individual properties of fuel aren't as important as just having the fuel itself.

 Last year's fuel price run-up and Middle East crises may have not only hurt American drivers' pocketbooks but also caused them to feel guilty about operating large, gas-only vehicles. Ethanol power not only allows owners to enjoy large vehicles, but it can also let them feel good about the domestic agricultural economy, American energy independence and the environment.

 The consumer reaction has been very positive. GM believes it is important to build consumer awareness of Flex Fuel Vehicles. Customers like having a fuel choice -- E-85 or gasoline.

 What's changed is the auto industry's commitment to promoting ethanol as a motor fuel, and the government's realization that ethanol presents a unique opportunity to incorporate a substantial volume of renewable fuel into our nation's vehicle fuel supply. Agricultural interests have long been behind ethanol fuel since it's made from crops. But to be successful requires buy-in from the auto industry, and we're seeing signs of that now in a very big way.

 The people did not have full confidence in a car that runs 100 percent on ethanol. And in some ways they were right not to have that confidence. So now they have a choice. If you don't like the price of ethanol, put in gasoline. If you don't like the price of gasoline, put in ethanol. If you have any doubts, put in 50-50.

 We can produce the flex-fuel vehicles, but we can't do it all alone. We need government policy to do its part.

 People need to realize that ethanol has been ? and still is ? the best buy for the consumer. Ethanol is what's offering consumers a lower-priced fuel, whether it's in Iowa or in Connecticut.
