Sign Up for Ethanol

Written by foodandfuelamerica on
A group of ethanol and corn producers from South Dakota have launched a new advertising campaign to encourage supporters to “ Sign Up for Ethanol .” The ads highlight the role of ethanol in increased energy security, economic development and decreased gas prices. The first ad in the series shows how domestically-produced fuel helps to create energy security by not investing our country’s dollars into fuel produced in hostile countries, thousands of miles away. Other ads in the series highlight the role ethanol is playing in lowering gas prices for consumers, and the impact the ethanol industry is having on our domestic economy. Source: ... Read Full Story

Gas Prices Rocket Upward on Supply Fears

Written by foodandfuelamerica on
Gas prices jumped nearly 19 cents on fears of shortages caused by Hurricane Ike. The average retail gas price increased to $3.835 this week, up $1.04 from a year ago at this same time. The average price of diesel also remains high at $4.03 a gallon, up nearly $1.06 cents a gallon from a year ago. The petroleum industry's pricing model is "Up like a rocket, down like a feather". So no one should expect to see prices come down anytime soon. Most likely, this is just a new plateau so that motorists will be happy to see such a "low price" like $3.75 ... Read Full Story
