Before SUVs change: Ford to help increase ethanol fuel stations

>>The company plans to make 250-thousand ethanol-capable vehicles next year. They include the Ford F-150 pickup, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car.<<

DETROIT Ford Motor Company is teaming up with an energy company to increase the number of ethanol fuel stations next year.

Ford officials say they will work with VeraSun Energy Corporation to covert fuel pumps to E-85, an alternative fuel made from 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.

Ford will announce the number of stations and their location at a later date. Ford plans to add less than 100 fuel stations in the Midwest, where ethanol is readily available because it's distilled from corn and grain.

Only about 500 of the 180-thousand fuel stations in the U-S offer E-85.

Ford also says it will launch an awareness campaign about the benefits of ethanol.

The company plans to make 250-thousand ethanol-capable vehicles next year. They include the Ford F-150 pickup, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car.
