Kansas consumers to test E20, E30 and E50 in pilot project to study fuel efficiency

The Kansas Department of Agriculture has launched a project to offer flex-fuel vehicle owners a choice of E10, E20, E30, E50 and E85 at selected service stations, and will study the fuel efficiency.

A study by University of North Dakota and University of Minnesota researchers released earlier this month showed that cars achieved higher fuel efficiency compared to unleaded gasoline when running on E30.
