Ethanol Fuel In Hawaii

Presently, over 40,000,000 US gallons (150,000,000 l; 33,000,000 imp gal) of ethanol are imported from the Caribbean or continental US. Shipping costs, which amount to 20 to 30 cents per gallon, are passed on to the consumer.

Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or hawaii:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Flower picking.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 2710, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
