Executive Summary: Many vehicles have already been manufactured and sold to run using ethanol fuel or E85. The problem facing many interested consumers in purchasing one of these vehicles is the lack of purchasing ability to refuel their vehicles. According to the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, there is only one station set up to dispense ethanol fuel in the state of Indiana. If there were more refueling stations that would be willing to sell E85, there would be a larger population using these types of vehicles. In order for this to take place, however, the fuel companies must be willing to convert some of their stations to sell E85 fuel.

The Indiana Department of Commerce, Energy Policy Division is making available grants of up to $30,000 each to encourage the development of an improved alternative fuels infrastructure in Indiana. The lack of refueling infrastructure is currently a major obstacle in bringing about greater acceptance and use of alternative fuel vehicles. The development of infrastructure is the most pressing current need for compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and for the development of stronger clean cities organizations.

This task involves identifying engines, motors and generators that might be available for use in vehicle designs.

Statement of the Problem: The problem to be addressed is the lack of availability of E85 fuel in the state of Indiana. Consumers are not going to purchase ethanol vehicles if they can only refuel at one station in the state of Indiana. So, therefore, more stations are needed to sell E85 fuel. With a grant from fuel corporations, we would gain recognition for ethanol-fueled vehicles, and they would get their return by obtaining a state-funded grant to convert their station to E85.
