Gas Prices Force Americans To Push For Ethanol Fuel
By Mr Ethanol | June 11, 2008
Earthtimes:
A recent national survey commissioned by Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) shows the skyrocketing cost of gasoline is forcing American motorists to rethink their driving habits and choices at the
pump. The cost of summer driving, with oil prices nearing $140 a barrel, has become an increasing financial burden for many American consumers.
The EPIC survey found 47 percent of those polled stated that a fuel price below $5 a gallon should be the point where fossil fuels are no longer our primary fuel sources. 
An additional 27 percent of those polled reported that the critical price point lies between $5 and $5.99. America is getting close to the break-point as Sunday, the national average of a gallon of gasoline rose to $4.005, 90 cents higher than a year ago, according to AAA.
“Motorists are frustrated and angry about high gas prices. Everyone is feeling the pinch at the pump, which really underscores our need for biofuels,” said Toni Nuernberg, executive director of EPIC. “As gas prices continue to skyrocket, we must continue the push for the only current transportation energy option we have today-biofuels.”
