  • BlueFire Ethanol Fuels: Converting Garbage Into Profits [View article]
    Tom- I like the idea of an E10-E20-E30 etc variable pump at gas stations across the nation in the not so far future... and furthermore:
    News flash - Everyone talks about a drop in fuel economy comparing ethanol to gasoline. Well, I have read a thorough report from EERC and the Minnesota Center for Automitive research where they tested extensively different blends of fuel on several popular stock vehicles. Here’s some quick results: The 2007 Toyota Camry, which gets 25 MPG on Tier 2 gasoline, received just under 26 MPG with E30. The 07′ Ford Fusion also received a 1% increase in MPG using E30. More impressively, the Chevrolet Flex Fuel Impala had 27 MPG using E20, which is a 15% gain compared to it’s 23 MPG Tier 2 gasoline results. So, ultimately with the CAFE standards, automakers can further improve these stock vehicle MPG tests, when they make adjustments for the firing of the fuel in the chamber absed on the fuel input. Already there exists technology to handle the cold starts, enriching fuel mixture for the first 30 seconds or so. I like the idea of E85 being more readily available, but believe we will most likely see E20 and E30 in the not so distant future as standard at any fueling station. Prepare yourselves Nay-sayers, but you will see great MPG once E20 and E30 is more mainstream and the automakers will adjust for it and meet or exceed the CAFE requirements with ease.

    I have evaluated several cellulose to ethanol companies and have personally found that BlueFire is the real deal. I have accumulated shares in BlueFire along with two other energy companies as these small caps will become large cap companies in very short time. Our next boom will definitely be energy and those with the right technology, financing and experience will come out on top.
