The number of flex-fuel vehicles and E85 consumption are rising sharply in Sweden.
During 2007, the number of passenger flexible-fuel vehicles in Sweden grew by 74 percent to more than 80,000, according to figures by the Swedish Institute for Transport and Communications Analysis in Östersund March 28.
Meanwhile, oil company Svenska Statoil saw its sales of E85 ethanol blend more than double in the last 12 months to 11.1 million gallons (42 million liters), up from 5.1 million gallons (19.5 million liters). During the month of February Svenska Statoill sold 1.3 million gallons (4.8 million liters) of E85 – 180 percent more than the previous year.
In addition to E85, Statoil added 1 million gallons (3.7 million liters) of E100 (99.7 percent ethanol) as a five-percent blend with its gasoline sold from all its pumps in Sweden.
